Savings To Be Made In Car Rental

By Francis Mitchell


When renting a car there are a number of add ons to your rental can push up the cost of your hire. The question to ask yourself if do I require them or can I do without? Here a few additional costs which you may dispense with.

Hiring Baby Seats Any renter who has travelled with young children will know all that is involved and what is needed to bring with them on holiday. Laws vary from country to country but here in the UK all children under 13500mm require to be fitted with a belt and seat where possible for their safety. There are a number of different seats to rent when hiring a car from a baby to booster cushion seat. The question to ask yourself is do you need to rent one or can you bring your own with you from the house? You could save yourself around 20 plus each day by bringing your own.

Two or more Drivers Plan before you arrive and this will save you be pressured into making a snap decision upon arrival at your destination after a long tiring flight. Do you need more than one driver is the question? In the UK unlike most USA or Canadian towns the journey time between North to south of England is around 5 hours or so and can be made in one journey with a rest stop. Most of the journeys will be only 1 or 2 hours longs in the UK as holiday makers only tend to visit family or friends and make small journeys each day to various hot spots on the map. As the cost of an additional driver is expensive this is one saving you can make.

Car Hire Insurance Policies Every renters nightmare when its comes to renting out a van or car from an outlet. Do I need to purchase an insurance policy or can I do without? There are several options for you on this point and the first one is to say no to any policy and just pay for the rental costs. If this is your choice then be prepared to lose your excess deposit in the event of a car accident. An option if you do your homework is to buy an insurance policy from staff when you arrive into the depot. They can explain the various policies on display and work out the best one for your journey. The staff are then given a commission for each sale they make. Lastly purchase your own copy of an insurance policy from an outsider and give them the commission any problems with damage and you can reclaim back similar to a normal insurance broker.

Three options where you can save money on your car hire. Which you can then spend on your holiday treating yourself to something new or a nice meal.
