Car rental tips
For some people, car rental can be a bit stressful. The following three tips, however, are meant to reduce the feeling of stress:
- Make sure you brought all the right documents:
If you don’t have your voucher, passport and credit card on you when picking up the car, the supplier might not let you drive off. Make sure you have all document present to avoid an awkward situation.
- Read up on your insurance:
HolidayCars offers a NRW and a NRW+ insurance, which will cover most damage you might make on your vacation. However, you should thoroughly read the terms and conditions so you will not run into unexpected trouble.
- Check the car together:
When you are going to pick up the car, you should always check the car for damages together with the supplier. If you make up a decent damage report together chances are small that you receive a bill once you are back home.
- Book well in advance:
For car hire the same goes as for flights, the earlier you book, the more good deals are still available. For car rental prices, the only way is up. The sooner you book, the more money you will save.
