How to shop for Car Rentals
Networking Club information and recommendations will assist club members when making car
rental purchase decisions.
Drivers of rental cars have to show drivers licenses and qualify for car insurance. Each
USA state or Canadian Province has their own laws, statutes or criteria for driving
licenses and car insurance.
There are several different car rentals sizes and classes available:
economy, compact, mid size, full size 3 door, full size 4 door, luxury sedan, sports
cars, 7 passenger van, 9 to 16 passenger vans and 4 wheel drive vehicles.
Since the price of gasoline is now more expensive than the price of the car rental it is
important to rent the smallest car that can safely fulfill your travel requirements. Choose a
car that can comfortably seat the number of passengers in the class of car you are used to.
Car rental time contracts include 4 hour, half day, day, week end specials, 3 and 4 day
specials, 7 day week, month, six month, year, two and three year rentals.
There are about 12 large international companies, several regional companies and local
car rental companies that offer rental cars.
I once had a situation where I had to travel for 1 day by car then go on a seven day
cruise and then travel by car for one day. The small local car rental companies would not
rent the car for 1 day or allow a drop-off at a different location. A large multi-national
car rental company did have this facility. I paid an extra $40. for the two, one day car
rentals. This was great as I did not have to pay for the seven days that I was on the cruise ship.
The majority of car rental locations are at airports and financial centers. In general
you will find that the financial center locations offer week-end special prices and the
airport locations offer the seven day special prices.
Some car rental companies offer reward programs offering discounts or bonus programs
based on repeat car rental use.
Some credit cards offer rental car insurance discounts or coverage. Holders must confirm
what insurance applies to each contract.
Some hotel chains, airlines and web portals offer volume discounts for car rentals and
they can be obtained on-site, through newspaper or broadcast or internet feeds.
Many organizations offer membership rewards offering discounts for car rentals. They can
be for company employees, volunteer organizations special interest groups, trade or
industry associations, retirement or church clubs.
When shopping for car rentals always compare the prices on-site with print, broadcast
and internet prices. You can sometimes find three different prices for the same car during the
same period so you should choose the lowest price.
My 2006, 10 day driving holiday from Toronto to Lake Placid, Boston, Cape Cod, Nantucket,
Martha Vineyard, Rhode Island, Thousand Islands, Kingston and back to Toronto was with a
car rental.
I combined a special in-store walk-in 3 day weekend price with a special 7 day internet
offer and saved about 45% off of the regular daily car rental rate.
