When renting a car it is not enough just to find a company and pay for it.
To get the best deal there are some steps to follow: 1.
Find three or four car rental agencies that suit you needs and wants.
You can do that either by looking in the phonebook; or maybe even better on the internet.
Always scan all the possible firms before you pick one.
You do not want to miss the best offer you because you got bored in the middle of the investigation.
2.
Contact the agency and ask about their special offers, location, availability, pickup sites, rates, special rates, hotel and airline partnerships, extra charges and insurance.
In short ask for everything you can think of that can help lower what you have to pay for your car hire; or what would make the car rental more convenient for you.
3.
Find a pickup point that works for you and one that will not be a hassle.
Some car rental agencies accept to pay for a cab to take you to the pickup pint, while others will pick you up at the airport or at your home.
4.
Pick the right sized car.
If the whole family is driving with you, you might need a large car, while a small car is enough, if you are travelling alone.
Most rental agencies charge extra for the larger models.
5.
When you have decided which company and car model to choose, you must remember to book it.
Sometimes the car hire agencies include the reservation fee in the overall price, while others make it an extra fee.
Therefore you should observe this when renting a car.
So basically you should choose a rental agency, ask the right questions, find a good pickup point, pick a good car model and finally reserve it.
If you follow those five steps, you can be pretty sure to get a car rental that you will be satisfied with.
