Top 10 Ways To Save Money On Car Hire

TOP 10 TIPS SAVING MONEY ON CAR HIRE! 1. HIRE THE RIGHT CAR 2. CHECK INSURANCE EXCESS PER RENTAL Most car rentals offer the basic level of insurance included in the rate, however like any car insurance policy the excess amount can vary greatly. 3. CHECK FUEL POLICY Most rental companies have a wide selection of cars, usually the smaller the cheaper, so if you only need a small car, select the cheapest car that meets your needs. Remember to take into account luggage capacity as the journey to and from the airport will have all passengers PLUS luggage in the car! Check the fuel policy of each option you are considering. A pick-up full / return full policy will mean you pay only for the fuel you use and not a penny more. Most rentals now however are pick up full / return empty leaving customers paying upfront for fuel they may not use. A more expensive rental with full / full policy could work out cheaper than a cheap rental if you have to pay in advance for fuel that you may not use. 4.

Depending on the number of cars you need, either on a single trip or multiple trips, why not ask for a group or loyalty discount? 10.
