Discount Car Rental

Are you going on a vacation or business trip? Most reputable car rental places try to provide you with the lowest possible price and good service. You can look into some of the smaller, independent rental companies. When renting from a smaller company, do your homework. Carefully read you rental contract for any hidden extras they may slip in.

Another way to gain discount car rental is to look into travel packages. Sometimes travel agencies will offer car rental as a part of a holiday package. Some companies will rent at a much lower rate if they know your going to drive the car less than 50 miles. This can also reduce the insurance you pay on the car as well. If you’re on a tight budget then look into discount car rental. If you’re careful, you can save loads of money and still enjoy a good time.

Seven Tips to Get the Best Discount Car Rental

Executive Summary about Discount Car Rental by Matt Ream

Contrary to popular belief, car rental rates are not set in stone. Rental companies are eager to rent out cars they are not using.

Here are some tips to get best discount car rental rates

1. Do your research. It is important to compare the rates from various car-rental companies. Most car-rental companies web sites, where they will show you rates for various locations.

2. Book early. If you are planning your trip several months in advance, check car-rental prices available at that time. Many times, car-rental companies will give deep discounts to early renters.

3. Book late. As the time for your trip approaches, car rental discounts may be found as car-rental companies try to unload their excess inventory.

4. Pick your car in town. Ask your rental car company, about how much it would cost to pick up your car in town.

5. Get the smallest car available. Determine the number of passengers traveling with you and the amount of their luggage, then get the smallest car that you will all comfortably fit in.

6. Ask about discounts. Ask your car-rental company if there are discounts for a weekly versus a daily rental, or if there are discounts for memberships such as AAA, USAA, AARP, or other organizations.

7. Gas up your car before returning it. I remember when car-rental companies would charge more than three dollars a gallon to gas up your car up on return.
