Road trips are a part of everyone’s bucket list and now that we welcome 2019, I’m sure many of you have already made new year resolutions or self-commitments to drop this one off the checklist this year and if you haven’t yet, this article is going to give you all the reasons to hire your favorite car and go on wheels right now, solo or with friends-doesn’t really matter. Read on for our practical tips on saving money and avoiding problems with your car agreement.
•Choosing the right vehicle: Choose your vehicle carefully according to your needs. If you’re traveling with your children or a group of friends, invest in a large sedan or a comfortable SUV. Otherwise, if you’re traveling alone or with your partner, invest in a smaller size but a comfortable vehicle. Besides size, decide between manually operated car an automatic car and make your mind for the one on which you have full control and driving experience.
•Booking: Always book your car in advance to avoid any last minute hassles. Before booking the car, check for offers and prices frequently on different car hire websites. Adjust your pick-up and drop-off timings to avoid any misunderstandings. Don’t forget to check the fuel policy options. Some rental companies have the fuel policy where you have to buy the first tank of the fuel and may return it empty whereas some companies will require you to drop the car with the same amount of fuel the tank had when you picked it up.
•Airport car hires in the UK: If you’re planning to start your trip from a different city and need a car rental from the airport to the hotel, then do not waste money by renting the car for the whole day. Hire your car from the airport itself with minimal pick n drop charges or from a trusted agency charging for only the distance traveled. In another case, if you’re starting your journey from the airport itself, then hire the car on a daily basis and ensure that the rental agreement is made and checked by both the parties.
•Beware of the total rent of the car: You may be attracted to the big hoardings or flyers stating to rent the car at cheap prices but you must make sure that if they have included the taxes or the put up price was for offseason or the car you want to hire has the same stated expense or not. All these queries may seem harmless at first but if not cleared beforehand can double your expected expense of hiring a car.
•Returning your car: Make sure that you return the car safely and on time so that no extra charges are added to your cart. Before leaving the vehicle, check the car to ensure you haven’t left any personal belongings behind. The most common lost articles include phones, wallets, sunglasses, etc. Also be sure that the manager or attendant checks the car’s body in your presence and that you agree about any damage. Go through your car rental agreement once again for any security deposits to claim.
