Following CARS Can Save You Money On Your Rental

CARS is one of the best methods around to assist you in finding the best deal on your car rental. It tends to be an overwhelming task, but following a mnemonic can make this task as easy as spelling C.A.R.S.

C- If you CHANGE the times and dates for your vehicle drop off and pick up you can see a significant difference in price. This is not always an option but if you have flexibility in your travel plans you should consider checking different dates when getting a car rental quote. Also many car rentals are closed on Sundays, therefore if you choose a Saturday evening or Sunday morning you will have until Monday to actual get your vehicle back. This is a great way to get a free days car rental.

A- ASK questions. Many people shy away from this, but it is the best way to know if you are getting taken for a ride. If you don’t understand the rental agreement, ask. If you aren’t sure what is included in the price you were quoted, ask. You will find that asking questions is the best way to know what you are really getting for your money.

R- Be sure that while you are traveling in your rental vehicle that you act RESPONSIBLY and always READ anything the rental company puts in front of you before signing. You want to be knowledgeable on what you are signing and what you will be liable for. Anything that you sign is a legally binding contract and need to be taken seriously by all parties involved.

S- SERVICE. It is extremely important to find out what type of service coverage you have while you are on the road. Many people make the mistake of paying for things out of pocket for the vehicle that later they can’t get reimbursed for. Road service is something that should be included but find out what they cover and who you need to call if you get stuck, many companies must pre-authorize any work that needs to be done, so get their consent in advance for any services.
