Read on to learn how to rent a car and where to find affordable rentals. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" id=\"h-what-are-the-procedures-for-renting-a-car\">What Are the Procedures for Renting a Car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW243633587 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW243633587 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Strong\">Nowadays, most car rentals are booked online. Sites like Kayak, Priceline, and Car Rentals let you compare prices to find the best deal. If you have a rental company in mind, you can usually book through them directly. You might be able to get a better price by paying upfront, but keep in mind that these reservations are usually non-refundable. If high budget rentals aren\u2019t within your price range, smaller rental companies like Advantage, Payless, Thrifty, and Dollar Rental are worth exploring. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" id=\"h-what-to-do-when-you-pick-up-your-rental-car\">What to Do When You Pick Up Your Rental Car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keep the following in mind when picking up your vehicle:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Have your driver\u2019s license, credit card, and confirmation number handy.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> The first thing rental-car agents look at is your driver\u2019s license and credit card. A picture of your license or credit card usually won\u2019t be valid. You might be able to pay for your rental using a debit card, but renting with a debit card can be complicated as there are more rules, restrictions, and fees. Having your confirmation number on hand is never a bad idea as it helps your agent retrieve your reservation.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Observe pickup and return times.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Your rate might increase if you pick up your car early and\/or return it too late. If you miss your appointed time slot, you run the risk of not getting the car you reserved or having the rental office close before you arrive.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Inspect the car.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Before you hit the road, inspect your rental car\u2019s interior, glass, and exterior for any visible damage. Document anything you see and notify the rental company so you don\u2019t get charged for damage you didn\u2019t cause. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Avoid purchasing pricey extras.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Packing your own traveling extras, such as a radio, child safety seat, or a GPS can help you save on additional fees. Things like toll passes and pre-paid fuel can also be overpriced at the rental office, so save money in the long term by purchasing them yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" id=\"h-what-about-rental-car-insurance\">What About Rental Car Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Depending on your policy, your primary insurer might cover rental cars. If you can, bringing your own insurance is a great way to save money and cut out extra fees. If you pay via credit, your credit card company might offer basic insurance coverage as well.
