Brain Top Off!

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 at the time of your booking make sure you know which rates will apply when you pick up the car.

So before choosing a car rental it would be best to have an estimate of the amount that you are willing to spend on the rental, and the different sites 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.

Online bookings are the simplest. Most companies will offer you a discount for booking online because they save on time and money. When you are getting your quote from the car rental ask if their cars have any add on features that you might require. Extra features like storage facilities, roof racks for luggage or sports equipment.

Car rentals will have daily rates for a limited number of km and then charge per km there after. For those renting the car for more than two days you can negotiate a cover charge for the whole period than pay for extra km’s travelled . Some will require you to pay for extra drivers whilst other just need you to have them written down only. 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. Rent A Car Sandton
2. Tempest Car Hire Johannesburg
3. Alamo Car Rental South Africa
