Heather in Neverland Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I need to rent a car this summer while I am visiting family back in the U.S. Any good tips or tricks for getting the best price? It's just me and one ds so a small vehicle is fine. I will probably rent something for 2 or 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I use Hotwire for reserving and pricing. Sometimes you can reserve without paying - sometimes you can't. It definitely matters price-wise if you keep it over a weekend but if you use for a few weeks then you'll cover that. I'd make sure your insurance covers rentals as the add on insurance is outrageously expensive. Also, one way rentals are pricey so if you can avoid that - then you'll want to.

Lanny Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If you have a Gold Visa or MasterCard or American Express, check to see if your card covers some or all of the insurance you will need, which is incredibly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
