How to rent a car?

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.

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.

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

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.
