Things to Know Before Renting a Car for the Holidays

Choosing a car is often a compromise between everyday life, weekends and holidays. What if you rented a car especially for the holidays?

Every day, on your commute to work, you are alone or possibly two in the car. A mini-city car would suit you perfectly. Yes, but here it is, when you go on vacation, there are 4 or 5 of you, not counting the dog, and the luggage to be accommodated. Result, you have chosen a bulky sedan, a station wagon or even a crossover.

Ideally for you, two cars would be. But, the budget is not at all the same. Renting for holidays or weekends is made for you!

Whether you are going for a short trip or for a longer period of time, renting a car has many advantages. On the internet, sites offer a wide choice of vehicles to rent. From small sedans to crossovers, passing by passenger transport vans or minibuses, you have the freedom to choose your body type. In addition, you will be able to choose from different price ranges for the same size, from affordable vehicles to premium vehicles. This can be a good way to discover a vehicle before a purchase.

Depending on your needs and the rental system, you will be able to make the outward journey, drop off the vehicle at an agency in your vacation spot. Then re-rent another for the return trip. A flexibility that a private vehicle cannot offer you. Some rental companies even offer vans fitted out for vacations in the great outdoors.

Precautions to Take

When renting a vehicle, there are obviously precautions to take. Renting is a flexible and inexpensive way to have the vehicle of your choice. But, depending on the options you take, a hitch, for example, can quickly become very expensive. Do not neglect reading the rental agreement, nor the insurance conditions. Indeed, there may be a significant deductible that will leave you with a bitter taste at the end of the vacation if you are told € 1000 out of your pocket.

Be careful to declare all potential drivers of the vehicle. This makes it possible, for example, to alternate drivers on the journey, in complete peace of mind. When collecting the keys to the vehicle, it is essential to make a thorough inventory. An unlisted trace and the car rental company could record it for you when you return the vehicle.

To Rent Well, Keep in Mind The Following Points:

• Check the vehicle rental conditions (length of driving license, method of payment, security deposit, rental advance, fuel costs, etc.)
• Take a good look at the insurance conditions (amounts, conditions, exclusions, deductible surrender, etc.)
• Proceed to the contradictory state of the vehicle. Make note of all faults, even the most trivial, on the sheet before handling the vehicle.

The Rental, The Good Vacation Plan, If You Are Planning

In short, renting a vehicle for vacation or time off can be the right plan. With a minibus, for example, you can go with friends and share the transport costs in a convivial atmosphere. Above all, you have to be a minimum organized and know all the parameters of your trip to compare offers and find the best quality/price ratio.
