Auto Insurance Guide

Certain things need to be considered when choosing a car rental agency. Planning the trip in advance and doing a little research about the available agencies will also help you.

Most companies will assure you that by making a reservation with them before you even arrive they will give you lower rates when in actual fact it is the opposite. Car charges are not constant and vary through out the year. So you must be quite clear on the conditions that are described to you and when they apply.

One thing that would really help is knowing how much you want to spend on renting the car, you should also know the places that you intend to visit. Then you should be clear on your dates and how flexible you are on these dates. These facts will help you choose the right car and help you when you are negotiating as well.

The best way to make a car booking would be to do it online. Online bookings are convenient for the car rental agencies and they will offer you a discount for booking online. When you are getting your quote from the car rental ask if their cars have any add on features that you might require. Things like roof racks for luggage and sporting equipment, any navigation systems or storage facilities.

Most agencies have a daily rate that applies for a limited number of km and charge for any km’s that are exceeded. Some will offer cover charges for rentals that are up to a week and not consider the number of km’s traveled. Some are flexible on drivers as long as you register the drivers with them others will require you to pay for the extra drivers. If you have good negotiating skills you can get a better deal than the original one, just compare the different agencies. I would suggest that you consider any of the following for good deals:

1. Car Rental Sandton South Africa
2. Car Hire Johannesburg
3. National Car Rental South Africa
