Rental cars

There are lot of companies which are providing the renal cars services in the U.S. Here i am trying to mention some of the most popular companies (given below) which are offering the rental car services. You will get the better deals on weekends and in holiday seasons. Better to check the corresponding websites for better deals and availability and make the call to the nearest branch to get the more details about the rent and other charges.

Required documents to rent a car:
  • S.S.N
  • Valid Driving License
For safe Driving: Don't forget to take the full insurance while rent a car (if you don't have your won car insurance), Below are the some of the tips for safe driving.

1) Parking
2) Line Changes
3) Speed Limit
4) Blind spots
5) Sign boards
6) Pedestrians

My experience with rental cars: Recently i took the rental car for my long trip (Its around 2500 miles), When i took the car i did not check the cruise and power outcome to charge my G.P.S and Cell phone. I drove to my home and identified that both were not working, since that was long drive i was thought of taking one more car by returning this one. I realized that the branch was closed by the time i thought of returning that car. I found the alternative and finally at 11pm i went to airport to return the car and luckily got the new car (Toyota Camry) and this time i checked everything before i left the rental branch.

Unlimited Mileage: Earlier there was no extra charge for mileage but now i have seen that Enterprise is charging $10 extra if you exceed the daily mileage 150 miles per day though its unlimited mileage or 20 cents per every mile if you exceed 150 miles per day. You can use any of the 2 options if you plan for long drives, if you think that it will not cross 150 miles per day then you no need to pay the extra amount at all.

Adding another driver to drive the same car: In case more than 1 driver is planning to drive the same car then all drivers needs to be added while you take car for rent, approximately they will charge $10 per every driver you add per day. Its good add all the drivers in case if you are planning to drive the car to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Full Insurance: Its suggestible to take the full insurance if you don't have your own car insurance, approximately it will be $20-$30. There will be some less price in Insurance if you use your company code. So try to use all the possible ways to reduce the charges.

Important things needs to be checked before you leave rental office:

  • So check carefully all the functions of the car if you plan for long drives.
  • If you find any scratches on the car or if you find any broken things inform to rental people immediately before you leave the rental branch otherwise you will be in trouble.
  • Check the gas meter, so that while returning the car you also will maintain the same, otherwise they will charge extra for gas.
  • Check the car how clean it is inside, if you find anything wrong inside inform them immediately.
Important points while you drive the rental cars:
  • In case of accidents, call immediately the corresponding rental company and inform the situation.
  • In case if you find any thing is wrong with the car, call immediately and inform the same to the corresponding rental company and fndout the nearer branch to get the another car.
While returning the car:
  • Keep it clean in side the car, especially don't drop any oil or food items on seat covers.
  • Don't leave empty drink cans inside the car.
  • Check the gas meter whether it is same as when you took the car or not.
