If you are looking for car hire then like anything there is a right way and a wrong way of doing it.
Also, like anything, when there is a lot to check then this can seem like a hassle.
I am not going to pretend that it is any different with car hire but I would like to share some of the things that you should look out for.
So what types of things do you need to think about when you are hiring a car? In no particular order you will need to consider the destination, the duration of the hire, the type of car, insurance and the company that you go with.
If you need a car on a regular basis then a lot of these things only need to be considered once.
When thinking about duration you want to keep the time to a minimum.
Twelve and 24 hours are common cut off points so try to have them for less than that.
You can have it longer if you wish but obviously that will cost more.
It has been known for people to hire cars for one or two hours only.
The smaller the car you choose the cheaper it will be although make sure you get one that is comfortable.
Please note that each firm will class cars differently so make sure you ask the class before you book.
Insurance is both complex and expensive.
Ideally your own insurance will cover the car and that would be the cheapest way of doing it.
Make sure that it covers the minimum requirements of the rental company.
There are many ways to find the right company for you.
The easiest way is to search for car hire in your local city and use the words "car hire" or "car rental".
You will get a long list of companies to choose from.
Remember to try a few to get a number of quotes before making a decision.
