Will
your next trip involve a rental car? With a little careful planning, you can
prevent some common headaches. If your travel plans coincide with a holiday,
you need to plan well ahead of time. Car rental agencies are very busy at
such times, and you won't be guaranteed a car unless you make your reservation
well in advance. Contact die car rental agency and specify the kind of car
you want and the dates you will need it. Its a good idea to call the agency
again shortly before you begin your trip to confirm your reservation.
This
is the best way to avoid disappointment.
Another
common problem that car renters face is extra charges. Some agencies add
charges for options without letting the renter know about them. Sometimes
renters aren't aware of this until they receive their credit card bill. Read
the contract carefully before you sign it to make sure that you are paying
only for what you requested. And don't be tempted to pay for things you don't
need. It might be fun to drive a large, luxury ear, but if you are traveling
alone and are on a budget, it probably isn't worth paying for such a car.
