Rent A Car Wisely for the Summer

Posted by Brian  Published in Cars, Industry

Now that the Summer is here, the next thing you would need is to find an economical solution to address the cars you will be renting. Rather than reserve your cash for some other enjoyable means, a large chunk of it goes to the vehicle you will rent. However, thanks to Hotwire.com, some tips may change all that.

Here are some great leads to wiser car renting for the summer and it would be advisable to apply these as soon as you can:

  • If you see a good rate, reserve it right away. Prices are expected to continue rising through July and are expected to stay high all the way through August.
  • Rent on the weekends. When business travelers have gone home for the weekend, there is more inventory and lower prices for the consumer.
  • Rent away from the airport if possible. Off-airport and local rental centers can often be cheaper due to lower taxes and fees. Often, by sacrificing convenience, you can save money.
  • Make sure to fill up the tank before returning your car. Rental centers charge a much higher rate than you’d find at the pump for those who forget to fill up. If you don’t want the hassle, many rental car companies will also allow you to pre-purchase your tank of gas to avoid fees, but it’s still cheaper to fill it up on your own.
  • Book opaque. Although prices are expected to spike this year, by booking through opaque sites such as Hotwire, consumers can save big. Hotwire Hot Rates allow you to choose your car category and pick up and drop off times without knowing the exact car rental company in exchange for deep discounts – up to 40 percent and rates from $14.95 a day.
