Renting a Vehicle at the Airport
One of the most common mistakes that travelers make is making arrangements for car rental in an airport. Although it is convenient as it is already there, many travelers or tourists don’t realize car rentals in airports are typically pricier than those outside the airport. Below are some reasons why:
- Several car rentals in airports charge up to 30% in taxes while other car rentals will perhaps charge about half of it.
- Renting and running a business inside airports is costly, and this cost is passed on to airport customers which is why food, souvenirs and other products at airports are overpriced.
Check on other car rentals nearby or in the downtown or city area to compare rates before you make a decision.
Failing to Look into Pricing Plans
Failing to Look into Pricing PlansCar rental providers tend to give better rewards and/or rates for longer rental period. Several have weekly plans is much cheaper if structured in a per day basis.
To illustrate, a three-day car rental contact can cost you $52 per day, however a weekly contract (which is usually 5 days) may cost $25 per day. Hence, a 5-day car rental contract may have the same price as a 3-day contract, even cheaper.
Know how long you need a car and always check and calculate the offered rates to know which is cheapest and which would cater to your needs.
Purchasing Overpriced Auto Insurance
Most travelers are aware that they have to check on their car insurance to ensure they are covered when getting a car rental. Frequently, basic coverage is provided. Furthermore, sometimes credit card companies offer coverage on auto rentals as well. Hence, know the particulars. Usually, car rental clerks say that your insurance may not cover all, and insist on making you purchase added insurance or policies provided by the company. Those extra insurance costs could double your travel or car rental expense, so make certain these are needed prior to signing to purchase.
Not Making Pre-Rental Car Inspection
If you don’t inspect the car prior to renting, you might not notice scratches, dents, stains, cracks, and other problems. You might end up paying for all of these upon returning the car. This is similar to mechanical problems, so ensure the car is in great working condition before signing the rental contract.
