4 easy ways to save on your hire car
If you aren’t familiar with the car rental process already, it is likely that you are missing out on ways you can either save money or upgrade your rental for free.
Here are four tips that can help you start renting cars like a pro!
- Just like airline prices, hire car fares will fluctuate up and down. However, unlike flight tickets hire car bookings can normally be cancelled at no charge. So, if you book early and then keep an eye on your quote you can often take advantage of a lower price than you were originally quoted simply be cancelling your reservation and then making the same one over again. If, on the other hand, you don’t have the time or inclination to keep checking your reservation, here at A2B Car Rentals we are happy to track our customers reservations for them, and customers on average can save 30% on the cost of their rental simply by getting us to track their booking for them.
- By joining a hire car loyalty program, you can do more than simply earn points toward future rentals. It can also bring you extra benefits like skipping the line at the rental agency and getting directly into your car! In some cases you can also drive away with a better vehicle than the one which you had originally booked. Ordinarily, loyalty programs like these can be joined for free, so there is no reason not to take advantage of extra benefits like these.
- Is is more than likely that you already belong to at least one organisation through which you are eligible for discounts on hire cars. Are you a Costco member, for example? Or do you belong to the NRMA? Or are you a member of the military or a teacher? Through organizations like these and others you can often apply for discount codes or other additional perks like free additional drivers.
Once again, however, perhaps you cannot be bothered to put in the time to discover where and how to get these discount codes.
In this case you can leave it all up to us at A2B rentals once again!
When you come to us for a quote, we will automatically factor in your memberships, scanning and comparing thousands of discounts in order to get the best deal possible for every customer.
4. By using a credit car that includes insurance for hire cars, you can save a lot of money on your rental simply by declining the extra insurance offered by the rental agency. Between the insurance you’ve taken out for your own car (which normally includes insurance for rentals), and a credit car that will cover you for any damages beyond what your insurance will allow, you will most likely not need to buy any additional insurance from the rental company.
