Are you going to rent a car? Here's what you should know
Car rental is a very popular service nowadays. Business commitments, short trips and even long holidays become much easier thanks to renting a car. However, there are still many travellers who are skeptical about this mode of transport.
If you have never rented a car and you think it is difficult or complicated, don't worry! We have created a list of small tips for you that will help you book a rental car without any hitches or unpleasant surprises. Below you will find some important things to know before renting a car.
1. You must be 21 years old to rent a car
The first important prerogative is to have all the requisites to rent a car. In each rental contract the legal terms that must be respected are reported.
Among these is reaching the minimum age for car rental which is set at 21 years. Next we obviously find the possession of a valid driving license. Remember that when you pick up the car you will always be asked for all the documents necessary for identification.
2. When choosing a car, also consider its trunk!
As we know in most cases, car rental companies allow a vast choice of cars in every category. When choosing the car that is best for you, don't be superficial! Remember to evaluate every aspect of the car.
For example, if you are traveling alone but you have a lot of luggage, don't opt for a Smart! Choose a car that can offer you more convenience and comfort. What we want to tell you is to consider all aspects of the car. To do this, you just need to consult the details listed on the rental agency's website which usually clearly report every feature of the cars in detail.
3. Don't underestimate insurance
An important aspect of car rental is undoubtedly insurance coverage. There are those who tend to underestimate this factor and accept the basic insurance, which is offered by all car rental companies. Our advice is to think carefully and especially look at the value of the proposed deductible. The ideal would be to opt for a car rental company that can offer zero deductible insurance coverage in order to relieve you of any possible damage to the car.
Underestimating this aspect could lead to unpleasant surprises and make you spend more than you paid for the entire holiday! Be very careful!
4. You can choose to add an additional driver
Another aspect that not everyone knows about is the possibility of add an additional driver. This clause has extra costs that in our opinion are really well spent.
It is good to be able to take turns while driving. Many rental companies offer this clause at the time of online booking. Consider carefully whether to choose this alternative, it could be really useful for you.
5. You can request extra services
Each car rental company offers a series of extra services (for a fee) for its customers. You can request any additional convenience that will allow you to fully satisfy your needs. Requests can be customized based on your needs.
For example, you can request the inclusion of a GPS navigator in the car, snow chains, supports for minors such as child seats, load carriers and much more. We always recommend that you specify this in advance to allow the rental company to organize itself better.
6. Are there rental companies without a credit card
