If you want to travel in a rental car without breaking the bank, choose a basic package. Some car rental companies allure the travelers to book additional services and cost a large amount for the luxury. Browse the online car hire websites and compare the rentals of all.
- Avoid buying ‘Extras’
Most of the time buyers book a GPS device and a child seat online as an add-on to their basic car rental package. However, these optional ‘extras’ increase the price by manifold. If the rental price of the same is more or equal to its purchase cost, it is feasible to buy it and use it all the time when you’re out.
If the airline you’re going to fly with allows you to carry a child seat in your luggage, don’t add a child seat in your car hire package. However, if the prices for extras seem reasonable or your airline doesn’t allow you to bring a child seat, it is logical to book them in advance.
- Car Insurance Cover Is a Must
It is essential to buy an insurance cover to protect yourself from major mishap or accident. The car rental companies will ask you to buy a super CDW insurance, which covers the scratches or damage worth £500-£1,000. And this is when a pothole may come. Inquire about the per week charge of the insurance cover and compare with the actual price offered directly by the insurance company. Read the terms and policies carefully before signing for any insurance.
You can also take snaps before picking the car and after returning it to store it as an evident that you haven’t caused any damage to it. When the next time you hire a car in the UK, consider the above tips and make the most of your hard-earned cash.
