How will I know which is the best Rental Car Company for me to use?
You can check some of these issues if they are important to you.
- Ask around and consider their customer service record.
- Consider their rental policies and qualifications, are they favorable to you or do they penalize you in some way.
- Do they offer a Premium Club that offers the services you need?
- Check to see if you belong to any groups that entitle you to a special deal with a particular Rental Car Company.
- Find out what partnerships they have that could save you money in other areas. Many Rental Car Companies have agreements with hotel chains, airlines, or credit card companies.
- See if they credit your frequent flyer or frequent guest programs with points.
- See if they carry the types of cars that you like to drive such as new, used, Ford, GM, and luxury or specialty vehicles.
- Check their locations. Do they have them where you travel? Do they have international locations? Are they mostly on or off-airport? Do they have 24-hour facilities, so they will always be there if your flight is late?
- What types of extra services do they offer? Could they deliver a car to you or do they offer a pick-up service? Do they have 24-hour emergency road service?
- Can they honor your special requests?
- Consider their rates and the availability of any coupons or discounts.
