Discount car rentals are so hard to come by, and in recent times, discount car rentals simply mean you pay less for something less. Lets face it, sometimes when you pay less for a car rental, you end up with something that looks more like a farmer’s truck than a car. It’s hard to come up with a budget friendly rental, so how do you get a discount car rental these days?
Well here are a few tips to boost the value of your money, car rental wise.
1. A good way to essentially, get a discount car rental is to, once you return the car, fill the tank with the cheapest no-name gas you could find, not for revenge or anything.
But, because car rental companies, require customers to fill the gas tank before returning it, and if you don’t they’ll fill it for you with the company pump but at a higher price, now we don’t want that, so be sure to fill your tank before you return the car.
2.To get the discount off of discount car rental, make early reservations, some car rental companies give discounts or free upgrades for customers who reserve their cars early.
3.When you’re planning to use your rental car for more than five days, or longer, ask the rental car company if you can get discount car rentals for a weekly rate, most companies offer discounts for the sixth and seventh day for weekly rentals.
4.Ask your travel agency if you could get discount car rentals if you acquire packages like fly-stay-drive or fly-drive. Most travel agencies as well as hotels offer these programs at a discounted price, what’s good about this is that you get a discount and you shoot two to three birds with one stone.
5. When you visit a car rental company, ask if you could exchange your frequent flyer miles for a discount car rental. This would be perfect for those miles that are on the brink of expiring, so instead of wasting them, you can use for the last time.
6.One way to get a discount car rental or maybe just the best deal for your money is to look for sites or rental car firms that accepts a pre-determined budget.
This is when you indicate the money you’re willing to spend for the car rental. Most rental car companies will give you the program that has the biggest discount car rental and the best deal for you.
Of course, it pays to know if the company has a history of fraud, in this day and age, you can’t really trust people that much with your money, check out the car before you reserve.
7.Ask the rental company for discount car rentals when you frequently rent a car at their firm, they’re most likely to give discounts or free upgrades if you always rent with them.
8. Get discount car rentals by reserving your car through the internet. Most rental firms have internet only discounts that can save you a lot of money, look up the rental firm that has the greatest discount for the same value.
9. If you want to get a good discount car rental upgrade, try renting a car early in the morning, right when the shop is just opening since there will be a shortage of economy cars and you’ll most likely get free upgrades when they cannot provide the car you asked for.
