Rentals- What's the Best Vehicle for You?

Rentals- What's the Best Vehicle for You?

Renting a car may seem like an easy task at first glance, but there are several factors that you need to take into consideration every time you decide to do it. Each situation demands a specific type of vehicle, which is influenced by the number of passengers, your budget, your itinerary, or even your location. With that being said, here is Mike Duman's recommendation on how to rent the best car that fits your immediate needs.

Passengers

The first thing you will need to take into consideration is the total number of passengers you will be transporting for the duration of your rental. Try to keep everyone's comfort in mind when making the transaction. Middle seats might be okay for children, but they will be a nightmare for taller people.

Location

In larger cities, streets are generally narrow, meaning that you will have to rent a smaller car, which will help you with navigation and, above all, parking. Do some preliminary research about your destination. You should also take into account the season and weather conditions before choosing a car.

Trunk Space

If you are traveling or visiting the family cross country, take into consideration the amount of luggage you bring along. Go for a vehicle that has ample space for your belongings, or you can leave some of the bags behind. Traveling light is, generally, a more fun and engaging experience.

Gas Mileage

Gas mileage is yet another factor that you need to consider. Smaller cars also have a better fuel economy than larger models. This website will give you a good idea about consumption, based on the car model.

Inspecting the Rental Car

After you've chosen the right car model, it's time to check the vehicle itself. First, you need to take your time when going over the paperwork. Ask the agent to take you step-by-step through the agreement. As for the actual car inspection, make sure that the agent documents all scrapes, dings, or other marks that exist, especially in the areas that these sorts of things usually occur, such as the bumpers, side panels, key slots, etc.

Do not forget to inspect the inside as well, especially in the high-traffic areas such as the dashboard and driver seat. Make sure that all pre-existing issues are documented. When you are returning it, insist on rechecking the vehicle together with the agent, as this will ensure that the car is in the same condition as before.
