Car Rental Consumer Tips
Tips from Heloise
I saw this in Heloise’s column and thought it would be good to post it at this time when so many of you may be renting cars for holiday trips. Here are some car rental consumer tips from Heloise:
When you rent a car, auto experts say to fill the gas tank before you return it. Otherwise, you will have to pay a high per gallon fee. Save money and top off before turning it in.
Because of high gas prices, car renters want more fuel-efficient vehicles. So, make your reservation early to be sure you get the vehicle you want.
If you are thinking about renting a car, shop around. Compare prices at the airport to local rental spots. Prices may vary quite a bit. Look for specials or online deals to get a better price.
Also and this is my own personal tip, check and see if you need the car rental insurance. See our post Is Rental Car Insurance Necessary at Cheapskateliving.org You may be able to save yourself some significant dollars but not opting for the extra insurance.
