8 things to check and consider before Renting a Car
Are you planning to rent a car in Karachi for your vacation in Pakistan? Make sure you know what to check out when renting a car and find out how to save money on that rental car with these few simple tips.
Renting a car for a vacation makes sense. It saves you money that you would spend on a taxi or other transportation. But car rental can be overwhelming for first-time travelers as well as experienced travelers.
Here are eight things to keep in mind when collecting your car from the rental company.
1. Use a credit card to collect the car Renting a car on Carlay Car Rental or any other car rental site, but be sure to use a credit card to collect your vehicle. You can use your bank's debit card, but some car rental companies check your credit level to make sure you can pay all of your charges. If you use a credit card, you will no longer have to worry about checking your creditworthiness. However, be aware that some auto agencies will block certain card funds until you are done with the car. Oh, and don't think about using a prepaid credit card - many car rental companies won't accept it.
2. Children cost more to drive rental cars Your 23-year-old daughter might have a crisp driving record, but the car rental companies don't care and only see them as a possible liability for their property, as they see nothing more than a young driver. For someone who is under 25, whether or not they are driving during the trip, you should expect there will be a daily charge. As long as that person is on the list of additional pilots, you will pay more.
3. Keep drivers to a minimum Whether you're going on a family vacation or a getaway with friends, know how many of them can drive the car. No matter how many people are over 25, you'll still have to pay a fee to find out who can drive. Try to limit yourself to two pilots; otherwise, you will pay more than you need to.
4. Try not to rent a car at the airport I know it is easy to pick up a car at the airport. But you may not realize that you will ultimately have to pay to get into the airport when you arrive. There is nothing rental companies can do about this, as they are obligated to collect and pay these charges at the airport where they operate. You can bypass these fees by simply calling a taxi to take you to the car rental store, which is not located on the airport grounds. A tip that many people do not know.
5. Shop around for auto insurance You can get insurance on your rental car from the agency. But insurance at a car rental store is extremely high and should only be used if you have exhausted all other options. Take a look at your personal auto insurance, which maybe could cover rentals. Your credit card company should also be called and the car rental company to discuss how they can help defend against your car rental company's problems.
6. Stay on paved roads This advice probably sounds pretty obvious. There aren't many rental companies that allow you to drive your rental car off-road. Let's say you're on a trip to Pakistan and want to visit a beach that doesn't have a landscaped road. The same goes for crossing over grassy terrain. Both are technically off-road, and both are a violation of your rental agreement. You don't have to drive if you get trapped in the mud with a car in one spot; the cost of picking up and cleaning the vehicle is your responsibility. And it can sometimes be very expensive!
7. Refuel before returning the car. You've had a great vacation, but now it's time to return the car and go home. The only problem is that you forgot to bring the car back with a full tank. Could you let the rental store fill it out for you? Absolutely, but you could be taxed up to € 5 per liter depending on the agency. We can all save 10 minutes and refuel before returning the car.
8. Bring your extras, if possible Sometimes you need more than a car for the trip, and car rental companies are committed to providing you with what you need for your vacation, but they'll charge you for it. You can bring some extras with you from home. You can use the GPS of the agency you're renting from, but your phone offers quality navigation, which won't hurt you much with your data plan. You can take car seats with you into planes for free, as well as strollers and other baby-related travel accessories, as long as it meets the guidelines of the major French air carriers.
