When looking for cheap car rental, many people prefer to
book holiday or business car hire in advance. Car hire is usually a must
for most business trips, unless you are being picked up at the airport. Driving
a company car is fine for short trips, but when you have long distances to
travel, or even overseas, then you have to hire a car and you want
something appropriate for your needs.
Holiday
car rental can be even more important to most people, particularly if
they have large families involving two adults and three or four children. It's
bad enough having two children in the back of a small car let alone three! You
likely know what I mean!
On vacation you might need a 4x4 or even a people carrier
(strange name) that can fit your whole family comfortably and without
complaints the whole way! These are not always available at airports, so you
could have a problem if you don't book in advance. The same is true of more
prestigious business cars such as 7-Series BMW, Mercedes or similar, and for
these you will almost certainly have to book your business car rental in
advance.
That's fine if you are seeking cheap
car rental in your own country, but you may have difficulty doing so
when traveling abroad. It's difficult enough booking a car in Jaipur when you
live in Jaisalmar, but try making an advance booking in Rajasthan when you live
in India! Wouldn't it be great if you could find a simple way to book business
car hire or a car for your holidays from your own home? Or have your secretary
do it for you without tearing her hair out?
Most people prefer to book their car in advance when going
on vacation or for business trips. Cheap car rental is easier to get by
booking early online, and by doing so they make sure they get the car they
need, and not just 'what's available'. Others don't seem to bother about
forward booking of hire cars: they will book air tickets and train tickets in
advance but leave their cars to luck!
Cheap Car Rental Cost Advantage
There are several advantages of booking your holiday car
rental in advance, not the least being cost. Most car hire firms will charge
less for an advance booking than if you simply turn up at the desk, so booking
your vacation or business car rental in advance will probably save you money -
particularly if you book a car online. Sometimes that's not possible with
business trips, but you should at least know when your flight is due to arrive
at its destination. You can book
your car online in advance for that time and likely get a better
price than somebody walking off the plane and trying to get cheap car rental at
the desk.
Better Choice of Cars
There are other advantages though, not the least being the
choice of cars you may be offered. Booking car hire in advance enables you
choose the car you want - at least up to a point. If you hire
a car from the airport you are restricted to what they have available:
not just what is available for airport car rental, but to what is left,
particularly if you are near the back of the queue!
It's not easy to find a car to suit you if you have five or
six in your family, and lots of luggage. In fact, you might not find anything
and have to pay for a couple of taxis to your hotel so that they can help you
out with renting a car big enough for your needs. It is far better to have booked
your holiday car rental in advance.
Cheap Car Rental Price Comparisons
If you know the type of vehicle you need, you should be able
to compare cheap car rental prices across car hire firms and also across models
that meet your specifications. By hiring a car in advance you should be able to
achieve that by entering your needs into a search engine and be offered a range
of vehicles in order of price for any country you want.
Perhaps you have different collection and drop-off points,
so how would that affect the cost of your car hire? Is it easy to search over a
number of car
hire firms or do you have to visit the web pages of each separately?
How about searching over a range of countries? If you live in the India and are
traveling to USA or French for some skiing, wouldn't you like to be able to
book the car you want and be able to get the best price for it?
3 Kids and a Mini!
These things are not easy to do and people generally settle
for trying to get as near the head of the queue as possible at immigration and
customs, and reach that car hire desk as quickly as they can. Then you have the
problem of how many others have hired cars that day, and is the type of business
car rental you need still available. It's all worry and stress you can do
without. What if you can't get a car? It doesn't bear thinking about! 3 kids
and a wife, and you failed to get anything but a mini! That might be taking cheap
car rental a step too far!
You can find a world-wide cheap
car rental service along with rail booking service if you need it, on
Global Car Rental that offers you a photo and specifications of the cars
available from a range of vacation and business
car hire firms from which you can choose your ideal car.
