We will probably be renting a car for our vacation this year. We are driving carnival cruises (roundtrip) around 1800 miles, across several states, plus touring locally once we get to our destination. Normally we take my spouse s minivan. It is roomy and comfortable for his long, leggy body. This year, though, we are taking our precious grandson with us and the van just isn t as reliable as it needs to be. It has over 124,000 miles on it and the last time we took it on a trip, it started stalling out and the brakes smoked carnival cruises going down the mountain!
I ve been trying to persuade carnival cruises my hubby to go ahead and get a newer van we ve got the money set aside for it, but so far no luck. The sales tax, plus the ongoing higher property tax and insurance are really turning him off and the van does fine if we drive it locally or just for a few hours to the lake.
So, instead of trying to cram my hubby, my grandson, myself and all of our travel things into my little Toyota Camry Solara (read that convertible with very little trunk space), I m looking for a mid-sized SUV to rent for a couple of weeks.
Usually, if we fly somewhere and then rent a car, we just get the smallest (least expensive) type available. This time however, my criteria are different. I want this vacation to go well and that rental car will be our daytime home for 12 days. It needs to be comfortable and roomy. But, in looking at the prices, a mini van is much more expensive than a mid-sized SUV and the SUV should be more than adequate for 3 people and their baggage. A full sized car would actually carnival cruises work well, except that the seats would be too low for my spouse.
In summer, on holidays and during other peak periods, rental rates go up as they do when you get closer to your dates. By reserving ahead of time, you can probably get a better rate (and make sure a car will be available). Our trip isn t for a month, yet I will be making our reservation in a few days.
Airports are notorious for tacking on fees and taxes. Go the extra mile to get to an offsite rental car location. Some (like Enterprise) will actually come pick you up although I m not sure they would do so at a major airport!
We will rent a car once we get to my grandson s house and leave our car parked in my son s driveway. There are numerous car rental companies and locations in the major metropolitan carnival cruises area close to my son s home.
Everyone says don t get the insurance, that your own car insurance (or perhaps your credit card) will cover you. We rented carnival cruises a car in Salt Lake City in 2003 and had a tire go flat (or get punctured) in the hotel parking lot over night. Because we hadn t taken the insurance, we ended up paying for a new tire with installation and etc for that rental car.
Take advantage of that walk around, even if you are in a hurry. Note any dings, dents, scratches and other defects and make sure the rental car agent documents them on your paperwork. You don t want to be charged for them later.
If you are going to be gone most of the week, check out whether or not you could save money by renting for the full week. Some rental companies will give you a lower rate and still not charge you for days you didn t use in the week if you return it early. Some companies will make you stick to your original rental period.
When I worked, my company had an employee benefit that let us rent cars at a discount from several of the major car rental companies. Check your credit cards and loyalty programs (airline, motel and etc) to see if they have partnered to give discounts for car rentals.
Some companies offer big discounts if you prepay when you make the reservation. I found a deal for a mid-sized SUV at Budget rental for $357 (taxes and fees included) for 11 days, unlimited mileage if I prepay. carnival cruises Even with a discount code, if I wait until I get there to pay, it would be around $377 for the same period. The cancel fee is $10 though.
