Renting

• Car rental agencies have varying pricing policies
  and fee schedules.
• But, how can we as consumers choose the correct
  one?
• Today we will find out!

3
Why?

• The charges are determined by a number of factors
  including size of the fleet available for rent,
  the kinds of cars for rent, the time of year, the
  length of the rental contract and so on.

4
Coupons

• Each agency offers discount coupons that contain
  money saving offers.
• The coupons have codes that are entered on the
  reservation screens.
• The savings realized through coupons can be
  significant to a car renter.

5
Rate Miles vs. Set Costs

• Some rental agencies will charge you a higher
  standard rate for the day, while others will
  charge a low standard rate plus costs per miles.
• Example 18.98 20 cents/mile.
