Car hiring comes with its own complications, which may dampen your adventurous spirit. Here are some tips to avoid them. * Booking your car It is smart to check out several car hire companies to compare the prices and offers. They may also offer exclusive discounts and deals to major organizations, frequent flier or credit card programs you may belong to. * Choose the perfect vehicle Think over carefully of the kind of car you would need for your trip. Are you traveling alone, with a group of people or perhaps with children? If you are traveling in a large group or with loads gear and luggage, a SUV or a large sedan would be more suitable. Most cars for hire come with manual transmission. If you are used to automatic, be sure to remember to reserve your choice in automatic transmission. Also, check out the extras your car hiring company may offer such as extra seats and a GPS system. * Understanding your rental and its cost When booking your online, remember to read carefully their terms & conditions; as you would over the phone, ask your sales representative. Enquire about drop-off fees, penalties to be charged in case if you were to be stuck in traffic on your way to return your, extra fees for additional drivers, age penalties and any other restrictions on traveling in that particular country or state. Also be sure to ask about the places to reach or person to contact in case your hired car breaks down. Beware of hidden costs as the rate you see advertised may not include state and local sales taxes, airport surcharges, insurance, drop- off charges, petrol bills, the 24- hour clock rate, license fees and peak season charges. Be informed about these before you make your booking! * International Driving Permit Driving in a foreign country requires you to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is basically form of identification that translates your information into nine different languages and is accepted worldwide. To hire a car abroad, you will be asked to present an IDP along with your driving license. Also, you must be at least 18 years old. * Know before you start driving Before you start your road-tripping, be sure to know the rules of travelling in that country or state and of course, which side of the road will you be driving. Relocate enough cash for fuel from your travel expenses; and don’t forget your map or you can also enquire about GPS rates most car hire companies offer along with your hired car. Make sure to check your hired car thoroughly before leaving; also be sure that the check-in attendant examines the vehicle's body in your presence and that you agree about any damages to the car. Go through your rental agreement carefully for all charges and make sure they return your deposit to your account while waiting.
