Title: Car Rental Travel Tips


1
I remember the first time I ever needed a rental
car.
2
I was traveling with family, and we just got off
a flight to Las Vegas for our family vacation.
3
We were all prepared to see the sites, go to the
hotel and casino, and all the other wonderful
things that Vegas has to offer.
4
We however werent going to use a taxi service
due to the past experience of being overcharged
for fares when we went to other destinations for
vacation.
5
Unfortunately, we discovered that renting a
vehicle could actually be more expensive than
taking taxis around the city if you are not
careful.
6
However, we discovered little tips that can help
anyone needing to rent a vehicle save some money.
7
The first tip that vacationers should consider is
checking different traveling websites such as
Hotwire or Priceline.
8
The reason for this is that even though you
arent aware of whom the rental company is you
tend to save some money there by bundling a trip
with your flight.
9
The next tip is to use a price tracking service.
10
The benefit of this is that sites such as
Autoslash.com will allow you to see rates for
rental vehicles during the time of your trip, and
will also alert you if the price goes down.
11
This can be very beneficial for vacationers on a
tight budget.
12
Another tip that can save people money on the
cost of renting a car is to use a car sharing
service.
13
The benefit of this is that companies such as
Zipcar allow you to bundle the cost of vehicle
rental with gas and insurance.
14
This can save drivers a lot of money if they
intend to do a lot of driving while on vacation,
or if having coverage on their rental vehicle is
a necessity.
15
Tip number four is to rent outside of the airport.
16
On average airports add ten percent to travelers
overall rental fees, and this is double in Europe.
17
This being said taking an available shuttle to
your hotel and renting remotely can be less
costly than renting a vehicle at the airport.
18
Another tip for saving money on renting a car is
to use the sharing economy.
19
Some companies offer rental vehicles directly
from the vehicles owner to the renting party.
20
This can be cheaper than renting a car the
traditional way, but renters assume the risk of
getting a vehicle that may be dirty.
21
With these tips vacationers can save money on
their next vehicle rental.
