Finding the best car rental rate can be challenging unless you know where to look for a deal and what you can expect to pay for different vehicle classes. Here are a few tips for getting a great deal on a car rental.
Step 1: Check for sales from your favorite car rental chains. Seasonal, last-minute, and membership promotions (e.g., AAA) can often save you money.
Step 2: Don't rush. One of the best ways to get a discount on a rental car is to wait until the last minute. Most of the major car rental companies offer last-minute deals that are only available online.
Step 3: Specialty discounts and membership clubs. Take advantage of deals just for students, families, seniors, or frequent flyers. Or, join the membership club of your favorite rental chain to get exclusive deals.
Step 4: Find out if you need insurance. Most private auto insurance policies include collision coverage for rentals in the U.S. and Canada, but some will only cover rentals you use when your everyday car is being repaired. Check your policy carefully, and don't pay for more insurance than you need.
