Title: How to rent a car?


1
How to Rent a Car
  • The process of renting a car is sometimes
    expensive, time-consuming and full of hidden fees
    and surprising requirements. Shopping for the
    best price and ensuring you understand the rules
    and regulations before and after you use the car
    will help. Rent a car by making a reservation,
    ensuring you have all the required documentation
    and returning it in the same condition that you
    rented it.

2
Reserving a Rental Car
  • Compare prices online. You should check travel
    websites such as Kayak, Hotwire, Expedia and
    Priceline as well as agency websites like Hertz,
    Avis, Enterprise and Alamo. Compare their rates
    for their most basic, economy-size cars. Find the
    best deal for your location and the period of
    time in which you'll need a rental.

3
Consider the size you will need
  • You can rent a car in any size, from compact to
    SUV.
  • Keep in mind that the definitions of terms like
    "compact" and "luxury-sized" can vary. Most
    agency websites will include examples of models
    or how many passengers can fit in each car size

4
Consider booking a flight and a car together
  • If you plan on renting a car after landing from a
    flight, it's worth looking into booking your
    flight and rental car together. This can often
    save you money, as better deals and rates will be
    offered. You can book a flight and a rental car
    together either with travel websites like

    om/.

5
Add features that you will need with your rental
car
  • These might include a GPS system or car seats for
    the kids. These additions can be factored in
    while you're going through the online rental
    process. Different car models will have different
    options, so keep that in mind as you choose a car
    size and model
  • In most cases, you'll be much better off
    financially by providing these kind of extras
    yourself, instead of renting them. Avoid extra
    features unless you absolutely need them and
    can't provide them yourself.

6
Include the cost of insurance, if you are going
to need it
  • Many personal auto policies and credit card
    companies include coverage for rental cars, but
    you also have the option to buy additional
    coverage. These offers will most often be made at
    the time of rental. Look for an option to view
    policies on the rental website you choose to use.
    Before you make any rental decision call your
    insurance company to learn about their car rental
    policy. Most personal auto insurance policies
    extend whatever coverage you have for your main
    vehicle to any rental.

7
Prepay for your rental car
  • Simply make the reservation and pay when you pick
    up the car. Most rent a car companies will hold
    your reservation without any form of payment,
    while others will require a credit card number.

8
Make your reservation by phone
  • If you do not want to use an online system. You
    can call the company you plan to use and reserve
    a pickup time, date and location with a customer
    service agent.
