How to save money on car rental

You can save money on Car rental anytime,anywhere, by following
a few tips below. In addition to the flexibility and liberty of
using a car when you are traveling away from home, it is
oftentimes more cost effective to rent a car when you are
traveling outside your home. Apart from taking the burden of
having to bother your head with bus and train schedules in the
new city, you can save money by cutting on expensive taxi fares.

Always make your booking in advance, at least a week or two to
pick -up. Making your booking early enough will enable you to
choose the type of car that you want, and negotiate a better
price for it. You can do this as soon as your travel plans are
completed and confirmed by you.

Look out for deals and discounts, and preferably, make your
booking online, so that you can take advantage of internet-only
rates, where it is available. Such offers and more are available
from most car rental companies, in addition to groups and
membership discounts. Take advantage of them to save more money.
Don't fail to use name-your-own -price sites such as Priceline,
to further be in control of how much savings you can make.

If you intend to rent a car for up to or above six days, find
out and use whatever weekly rate available. Most weekends are
offered free or heavily discounted, for a weekly booking by some
rental companies. You may also need to find out and use any
package deal from your flight or Hotel booking.

Arm yourself with a generous insurance coverage that can cover
all the make of cars and SUV's that you may want to rent. That
way you can comfortably decline the company's policy. Otherwise,
the rental agency will certainly slap one on you, at additional
cost. It is common to pump up fuel at the company on return, so
why not fill up the car with cheaper fuel before returning it to
save extra money. Alternatively, pay for fuel before you take
out the car, and return it empty.

If you apply these simple tips, and any other one that may be
applicable, you are certainly going to save money the next time
you are going to rent car and enjoy the freedom of using a car
on transit.
