What You Need To Know Before Hiring A Car From A Car Rental Company

by Alex D White

There are many advantages of hiring a rental car. Despite the number of people using these cars increasing rapidly, there are still a lot of things you do not know about hiring a car from a car rental company. Below are a few factors that you need to consider.

Look out for all the nearby gas stations so that you do not have a hard time returning the car when you are through with it. The right time for this is when you are driving out of the agency. Take this time to spot any available but pocket friendly gas stations along your way. This may save you a lot of time especially when you are returning in a hurry and cannot seem to find a station to fill the tank.

Check out if your auto insurance covers rental car. Full coverage normally extends to rental cars but it is safe to first confirm by contacting your insurer. If you have a full coverage, your insurer will naturally cover the rental car even if it is of a higher quality.

It is also important to check if the rental agency imposes loss of use charges, and if your insurance company will cover it. Loss of use is a new trend in the car rental market where the agencies impose charges on a client to cover losses incurred when the car is under maintenance. Most insurance companies do not cover loss of use, but many credit card companies do.

Some car rental companies offer very affordable or sometimes free upgrades to larger class cars, especially in busy times when most of the lower priced cars have been taken. You should consider these offers before passing. Sometimes it only requires a few extra bucks to get a much-improved car.

You may also want to check on such discounts as those from AAA or AARP so that you do not miss out in case a brilliant deal emerges. You can find the latest news about these offers in their websites. Make a point to check them out before you book any car.

Before taking a car, it is important not to overlook the importance of a thorough inspection. You do not want to return a car only to be stranded because of some faulty problem that it previously possessed but you were not aware of. Be sure to check if there are any loose parts, scuffs or any scratches before you leave, or take photos just to be on the safe side.

It is also a good idea to find out if the car rental allows out of country travels. Again, your insurance company may not cover international travels, so you may have to settle for a purchase of insurance for the car from the car rental. It is important to know that if you were to travel across the border with a rental car and experience some challenge, then your insurance and rental contract may be nullified.
