When you book a hotel online, you get to see images of vast, comfortable, spick-and-span rooms with all basic amenities but in reality they may not resemble what is advertised. Therefore, you should check thoroughly various things such as paperwork for registration, odometer reading, fuel tank and any other sign of damage on the car including small scratches and point it out to the car rental service provider. Since you won’t like to take the responsibility of things such as damage or scratches to the vehicle, therefore the existing problems, they should be carefully documented and should be brought to the notice of the company.
When you search online about the car rental service provider, you may also find out common complaints such as dirty cars and last-minute booking cancellation by the concerned company. The complaints may not portray the complete picture of the car rental company but may serve as a good marker for what can go amiss. While hiring a car rental service company do not forget to check the reviews and customer feedback about the services offered by the company.
While hiring a car rental service Company the other crucial things that you should know is what has been included in the costs of the rental. You should find out whether local toll taxes, insurance and unlimited mileage is included in to the costs or not. It will help you get a fair idea about the cost of renting the vehicle. Before hiring a car rental company, you should also check if you have requested for extra seat or any other features and whether they have been included in the voucher or not. Analyze these factors before signing the rental agreement.
