Usually when someone is looking for a cheap car rental, it will be used for a fairly short amount of time and in a foreign place. The freedom of having a personal form of transportation is great, especially in such a spontaneous position like being on vacation.

Car rental agencies know this, and revolve their companies around the decisions their customers have to make, which sometimes can be more beneficial to the company than the customer. Pre-planning and smart choices can lead to a pleasant rental experience.

Cheap Car Rental Options

Cheap Car Rentals offer great value only if you remember these 8 golden rules and advices:

  1. All  car rental agencies have web sites where you can make reservations and check availability. Take advantage of this! A few minutes of research about discounts, deals and conditions can save a lot of hassle in the long run.
  2. Being part of AAA (American Automobile Association) can yield some nice discounts and is fairly inexpensive for a yearly membership!
  3. If on a vacation, and staying at a hotel or resort, there are many package deals with associated rental companies. Look into these! Once again, all of the options are usually posted on the company, resort or hotels Web site; very helpful.
  4. Be specific when it comes to choosing a rental car. The terms ’sporty’, or ‘luxury’ can mean a lot of different things to different companies.

I’ve got a trip in May that I’m still debating on whether I should drive or fly. I can probably get a free buddy pass for the airlines, but then destination transport will be a problem, so I’ll need a rental. I can drive (it’s only about 12 hours from here), but I’m not sure what the gas prices will be like then.
