<h1>How To Get Cheap Car Rental During Peak Season</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Rdavid.aspx'>Rdavid</a></strong><br /><p>• Do your homework The important idea is to compare around — the prices of the car hire can fluctuate on regular basis so make sure you don’t miss out. Whichever you choose for, it can be worthwhile making sure about the background of the company, customer reviews etc. Secondly, be specific about your needs and plan your complete tour in advance. Make sure you know precisely what is and what isn’t included in the rental package. An old proverb “Early to wake and Early to rise…” suits totally on car hiring. The early you book your car the maximum are chances to get the cheapest deals. • Review the fuel policy Many car hire firms follow a tank to tank policy which means the firm will provide you with full tank and will ask you to return the vehicle with full tank. This is the genuine policy to follow which benefits both the customer and firm. Several other firms will provide you with a full tank of fuel when you start out and tell you to return the car empty. They suggest this is more convenient. But the truth is it’s a way of profiting from every customer. They charge top prices for the full tank and then most people leave around a quarter of a tank. So when the firm fills up for the next customer they just have to put in three-quarters of a tank. The lost petrol may have cost you between 500 to 700 bucks. If the firm does this to 10 customers a week it makes an extra 7000 bucks or around 364000 bucks a year. So wherever possible, arrange to return the car full of petrol and don’t pay for that tank at the outset. • Don't fall for the insurance rip-off Scaring strategies are a reliable deals technique for car hire companies. And there are few things to make a traveler tremor more than the menace of being forced to pay price of car if there is an accident or the car is stolen. Huge ‘excesses’ are now standard and they are a very persuasive tool when it comes to selling you extra insurance. The extra cover offered by hire firms can be very confusing. Some policies cover the excess; some cover windscreens, windows and tire damage. The best option is to buy excess waiver insurance independently before you go. The cheapest deals covering plus wheels, glass, miss-fuelling, lost keys and breakdown, come in at just over 1000 bucks for two weeks of cover. • Speeding fines follow you home Speeding fines and the like will follow you home because the taxi hiring firm has your address. And, obviously, don’t think you can get away with drink-driving, either. Be mindful, too, that you could face on-the-spot fines for some offences. Also, it’s easy to let your guard down when on holiday. Unfortunately, holiday hire cars are simple for criminals to spot, so you should be even more careful. If you have an accident, make sure you follow the rules laid down by the car hire firm. This may involve reporting it immediately to them and to the police — depending on the severity of the incident. You will probably need a written police incident report. • Check the car and then check again No matter how harassed and tired you are, take a good look at the car when you collect it. If you spot any marks at all, draw them to the attention of the chauffeurs / drivers and insist they are noted on the paperwork. Don’t be shy and make sure you take photographs of any problem — if possible with a smartphone, as this automatically adds the date and time to the picture. You should also check that the car has the correct safety equipment. Again at the time of handing over, check it carefully again and, if there are staff available, make them check it with you. If there are no staffs around, again photograph the car using your smartphone to get pictures with the time and date. Make sure you return the keys to a secure location. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Digital Photographer by profession and Travel Writer by choice, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bharattaxi.com"> R David </a><p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_How-To-Get-Cheap-Car-Rental-During-Peak-Season_319536.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_How To Get Cheap Car Rental During Peak Season_319536.aspx</a></p>
