Sex, Lies and Car Rental

I came across this guide to this day rental car and felt I should put things in some of the questions raised, and that could mislead (like my title, not I fear no sex here).

Rumor: Probably not going to get the car you booked.

FACT: Companies Rental does not guarantee specific models - we can not guarantee you will receive a Hyundai Getz 1.5L for example, but if you pay for an economy car, the transmission manual air conditioning - you get a cheap car, manual air conditioning (unless, of course, you get an update!). Our Reservations are based on the SIPP codes car, vehicles are offered as examples only.

TIP: Book based on code SIPP, not the vehicle. Peugeot Leasing is an exception - the models are warranted.

Rumor: You may have overpaid.

TRUTH: When going out to pick up a car in a foreign country, you probably will pay more. Book before you go to ensure the best price possible and do not forget things like when you compare prices research. Look closely at what price does, which is extra and how much it will cost extras. A Often, an all-inclusive rate may seem more expensive but can save you money because there is no more to pay when you pick up the car.

Rumor: Its "fully-inclusive approach" will not be as wide as it seems.

TRUTH: A franchise is applicable in the case of any accident or theft to the rental vehicle, regardless of fault. The amount varies according the countries of the franchise and the group of cars. The additional insurance offered by the car rental company is optional and is charged per day on top of an all-inclusive rate. Read more about the excess insurance here.

TIP: You may be covered through their own insurance to double check before booking.

Rumor: You may face strong complements.

TRUTH: There are some extras to be added to your invoice for example, child seats, additional drivers, young driver surcharges and GPS units can be separately and on a daily basis, which can add, especially if it is a long trip. You should be aware of these charges before accepting anything, so be aware of exactly how much to pay.

TIP: Always ask what the additional cost will be before you agree with them.

Rumor: Break could be a disaster.

TRUTH: No, when you book with Driveaway! Our rates include all roadside assistance 24 hours. We also have 24 / 7 customer service free phone numbers from around the world so you can talk to someone (in English) no matter where you are.

TIP: Book with a reputable company with a number to call in case of an emergency.

Rumour: You could be stung by penalties of cancellation.

TRUTH: Nothing Driveaway! We charge no cancellation or amendment of hire.

TIP: Always check at the time of booking if there is a cancellation fee in case of an emergency. Sometimes it can be as much as the price of housing if it is within a short period of time.

Always read the listings carefully to book a rental car (Night Security inclusions list of each vehicle during the booking process reservations online and our consultants will report on these if you book by phone.) Terms, conditions and costs all vary by provider and location. Remember to read your lease carefully before signing.

Holidays are precious. Research and organize your car rental before you go can save you pain Head and money.
