(Newswire.net — December 12, 2013) Chicago, Illinois — You have planned your trip. You have your flights, hotel, dinner reservations, people to meet, conferences to attend and rental car setup. You have it all in one package. You got the best priced flight you could. That and your hotel was the main way you made your decision. Your car just came with the package. You believe that if the airline flight and hotel was a good price well the car rental price and service would be as well.
Car rentals are different from airline and hotel bookings.
Flights are scheduled and you pick from that. Flights are usually on major airlines. Hotel rooms are mostly the same in a hotel. If you find you don’t like your room and there are other available rooms you can usually change rooms. The price is pretty set for each. Additional charges on a room or flight are either known or in your control by what you do.
Auto rentals have many pricing variables.
– Size of vehicle
– Type of vehicle
– Mileage charge or not
– Gas price arrangements
– Extra charges if late and how much if how late
– Upgrades
– Insurance options
– Location of pickup
If you are wanting not just a good deal but really cheap rental cars
Then you need to know what to look for, ask about and who can really provide that. Many times the initial price is far less than what you drive away with. By the time you find out that the quoted price did not include fees, taxes, and charges and insurance that deal is not looking like a deal anymore. The inconvenience and additional time, money and effort to correct can be very hard when doing it on the spot.
Your company has wanted to bring down their business expenses.
Their thought was one car rental company deal is a good a deal or bad a deal as the next. You get to your destination. You go to pick up your car which looked like a great deal. You are checking out and then you find the great deal was not so great.
Things you can do.
First, ask if the price you are quoted is the whole final price. The price that matters is the one you drive out with. If the price is really low then ask them how they can give you that price and more importantly will they have the car quoted and at that price when you arrive to pick it up. Ask what deals they have. Car rental in Dubai can be easy, convenient and for a great price if you know where to look.
