8 Things you need to know before renting a car
1. Your credit card may provide an insurance policy.
When you rent a car, you'll be offered an expensive option at the counter of purchasing rental car insurance to cover any damages. This rental car insurance is usually rather pricey - fr om $10 to $25 per day - and you may not need it, even if your auto insurance doesn't cover rental cars. Many major credit card companies, if used for the car rental, provide coverage to the card holder with no additional cost. But be sure before you bank on it. Some credit cards may lim it their coverage, and not all credit card companies offer it. Call and check first, and you may be able to save on the additional cost of rental insurance.
2. Your credit card policy may not cover fees over the cost of damage.
When you do call to check your credit card's policy on covering rental car costs, ask specifically what they cover. Some credit card companies may cover any damages you incur on the rental car, but will not cover the cost of fees assessed by the rental car company. Fees can add up, too, so you don't want to be left holding the bill.
3. You'll have to pay more for your kids to drive.
Or yourself, if you're under 25. Age is not an advantage for rental car drivers. For a long time, rental car companies wouldn't even allow drivers under 21. Now, most do, but a hefty fee can be part of the young driver's experience, usually a daily fee assessed for putting a young driver (under 25) on the registration, whether or not they actually do all of the driving or even drive every day.
4. You'll have to pay for extra drivers.
Even if all your drivers are over the ripe old age of 25, you are still likely to pay a fee for each additional driver registered when you rent the car. Think carefully about how many drivers you actually need, and designate one or two to keep fr om incurring expensive fees.
5. You'll definitely want to stay on the paved roads.
It's easy to miss some of the details rattled off when the rental car representative walks you through the company policies. There's one you'll definitely want to note, and that is that most companies prohibit the use of their
