Best car hire company – Which is the best car rental company?
Which is the best car rental company to rent from with a good reputation?
The answer most likely depends on your personal needs.
If you start reading reviews on website ie. reviewcenter.com you will find out soon every rental company is “bad”.
Which means every single rental company has a low rating review listed on the site. If we wanted to rent from a company which has only 5 star reviews on the internet we should have to walk..
There are award winner car hire companies, international companies, local car hire companies and even smaller operators with only few cars.
Any of these can give you the best rental experience ever or you could have a problem with any of them.
For the best rental experience you have to do the following:
– Read and understand what’s included in the price displayed.
– Choose the right size of car for your group and bags.
– Make sure you will have the right insurance cover. If you don’t want to risk paying the insurance excess in case of accident you can usually buy an extra car hire insurance cover from the rental company or an independent car rental insurance provider such as insurance4carhire.com
– Watch for the fuel policy. Some company operate a full-empty policy which means you have to pay for a full tank of petrol even if you don’t use it all. They charge 10-20% more for the fuel what you would pay at the petrol station.
– When you pick up the car read the rental agreement carefuly even if you are tired after the trip pay a minute attention what you are signing. Make sure you don’t buy something you don’t want.
–Inspect the car before you drive off if something not marked on the agreement make sure they put it on because later it can save you a lot of problem.
– When you drop off the car leave time to the rental agent to inspect the car. Some times they want to inspect the car later without you but that is something you don’t want. Make sure they check the car while you are still there.
– If any problem comes up try to sort it out before you leave. If you leave it later when you got home that will make a lot harder to solve the problem.
I think the most common problem is the clients don’t understand what they are signing for and don’t know exactly what the rental price is included. If you never rented a car before it is worth a time the read everything before you book your rental. It can save you time and money. It also worth to buy a car hire insurance policy.
My personal best is Hertz but I also rented from Alamo, Enterprise and Budget with a really good experience. I hired a car from a small rental company too and they gave me an excellent service.
