Tips On How To Rent A Car

By: Gray Rollins

The major international car rental agencies have offices
throughout North America and often around the world. There is
no such thing as the best company in this industry. It really
does pay to shop around. Rates will depend on the type of
vehicle, the time period, and things like agency specials. You
can easily compare prices online and you can reserve your car
online too.

Almost all rental cars have automatic transmission, radio, and
air conditioning. Even if you request a manual transmission,
chances are it won't be available upon arrival. If you are
traveling with children that will require car restraint seats,
make sure to request them when you book your car.

If you are renting a car in the US, you usually do not need an
international driver's license. Your license from your home
country should be adequate. That said, an international license
can be helpful in proving to the agency that you have a valid
license especially if they aren't familiar with the licenses
from your country.

Rental companies have different rules about who they will rent
to. Some will not rent to anyone under the age of 25 while
others won't rent to anyone over the age of 70. Other rent to
drivers under 25 but charge a premium. Check with the agencies
for restrictions before you book.

The car rental business is extremely competitive so prices
change frequently. Some companies offer regular advertised
deals; others run random special promotions. If business is
slow you are likely to be able to get a better rate than if you
are trying to rent during peak seasons. No one agency has the
monopoly on best prices. It just depends, so do your homework
and don't be afraid to try to barter a better price!

Sometimes if you booked through a travel agent, you might get a
better price on your rental car. Some packages even include the
rental fees. Compare these offers to see which is best.

The car rental insurance is where many agencies really soak
you. The collision damage waiver and theft insurance they
attempt to sell you is priced ridiculously high. But you also
cannot risk driving without it. Some auto insurance companies
have a rider that covers you and some credit cards also provide
you with free coverage. See what you can do to avoid purchasing
the rental agency's insurance because it can almost double the
price of your rental.

Now that you know how to rent a car and get the best deal,
you'll have a few extra dollars in your pocket to start
planning that next vacation.
