The Proper Way To Rent A Car When You Travel
13th July 2009
The first thing I have to say about renting a vehicle is make certain it is worth it. Some cities renting a car is of no value. You might not be able to drive, and if you can drive you might pay so much for parking each place you go that it would be worth it to pay a cab that doesnt have to park.
Take Las Vegas for example, unless you are traveling out to the Grand Canyon or something, there is no point in renting a car in Vegas. You can take a cab about everywhere or walk. Plus they have the tram that will get you all over the strip, or the double decker busses that take you from the Strip to Down Town.
If you are going to rent a car try not to do it at an airport. This is where you will pay the most money for them. See if somebody will pick you up at the airport if you rent a car from them. Most places will and it will save you money. Some are even directly across the street from the airport and half the price.
Find out if there is public transportation available before you spend a bunch on a rental car. A lot of tourist cities will have transit accessible to tourists that is much cheaper than renting your own car. Bear in mind it is not just the price of the car we are looking at, but how much will you need to pay to park it everywhere you go.
Even if you do rent a car, you dont really want to drive it everywhere. If you have to pay 12 dollars to park somewhere, and a cab ride is only 5, you will still want to take a taxi even though you have a car.
Check on your automobile insurance as well. Most of the time your plan will cover you in a rental car, and most credit cards underwrite rental cars as well. I never buy the insurance for car rentals I think that is one of the largest rip offs there are. Your auto policy will also insure you in a rental car, for the most part, just check with your insurance agent.
When you travel make sure you are taking into consideration all costs when renting a hotel or a rental car so that you do not spend more than you have to. You can usually rent cars cheaper the same place you book cheap hotels.
