Following CARS Can Save You Money On Your Rental

It may sound redundant but getting the best deal on your next vehicle rental may be as easy as CARS. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to remember all the steps but using a mnemonic can help you keep it all straight,

C- If you have the flexibility in your travel plans then you may want to consider CHANGING your vehicle drop off and pick up days. By changing your dates you may be able to save yourself a few dollars, and by few I mean anywhere from twenty to hundreds of dollars. You can also get a free day rental by arranging to return your vehicle on a Saturday evening or Sunday morning, as most places are closed on Sundays so you will not really be required to bring it back until Monday morning

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- While you are renting your vehicle you want to make sure that you READ all the paperwork put in front of you and always act RESPONSIBLE while driving the vehicle. Be sure to carefully review what you are liable for and always be sure to closely follow the rules of the road while driving. The papers that you sign at the rental counter are legally binding contracts and should not be taken lightly.

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.
