Rental Cars

With such a huge variance in rental car rates, it makes sense to spend a bit of time making comparisons. Not only are there often wide price differences between individual car rental firms, there are often many variations in rates from a single provider.

  • Get the least car that will serve your needs. There is a huge premium to be paid for such vehicles as SUVs, minivans and the like. Unless you absolutely must have such a rental vehicle, save the money and get a sedan.
  • When renting at the airport, check "off-site" facilities. There frequently is a noticeable savings when you spend the time to take the shuttle bus to the facility rather than having the rental car available right at the airport. It may take a few minutes longer but may save you a considerable amount.
  • Know the specifics on damage waivers. Do not simply assume that your credit card carrier will cover the costs of repairs if you decline the rental car company's insurance coverage. Read the fine print! Many credit card coverage plans do not apply to certain types of vehicles and may not be applicable in some locations. If you have any doubts, take the insurance--you can be held responsible for the full amount of any damage done to the rental car while it is in your possession.
