Car Rental Essentials - part 1


What You Have to Know Before Renting a Car

When you plan to rent a car abroad in other country you have to know some basics.

Its always peak season somewhere: Make reservation early as possible – you can always change reservation later

Cars are always in demand, if you plan to travel during big holidays like Semana Santa, Ramadan,mayday, new year, Christmas, winter in Europe is popular with skiers….and therefore it is wise idea to make reservation as soon as possible. Either you book your car right after you have confirmed flight or even before. Remember, last minute reservations are nervous games during peak seasons and to assure the car is better to book advance as you always can amend the reservation dates later. It is important that you have confirmed car.

 

Additional  Car Rental Fees:

 Optional – international one way rental: Wherever you rent the car in case you want to return the car outside of country of rental, be prepared for international one way fees. Not all companies allow this, but feel free to check your preferred locations and our system on izzirent.com site will show you results.
Young driver fee – if you are young you will pay additionally. Terms vary and depend on the supplier.
Late pick up – if you want to take your car out of working hours, someone will have to wait specially for you to rent the car – and this costs money. However, don't be afraid- this is applicable mostly to city downtown locations while airports usually normally operate until 23, midnight. Still, if you rent the car from airport, always make sure you provide the flight number – in this case if plane is delayed, company will know and wait for you.
Early or late drop off – this is rare now days as every agency has key box where you leave the car rental keys after you return the car. Simple and quick. In this case you have to know that you are responsible for any damage that occurs on the car within your return and opening time of the office. It is good idea to take few photos of the car for your evidence.
