Renting a car is important, especially for tourists and travelers who do not have their own personal vehicle or prefer not to use it. Fortunately, there are countless car rentals out there that allow customers to rent out their chosen vehicle for an agreed fee.
As mentioned before, tourists and international travelers are the main customers of car rental companies. In appreciation of this, there are car rental desks at major airports that make things more convenient for renters.
However, while this is a good move, there have been complaints about the extra fees that characterize airport car rentals. This has led to questions about whether airport car rental fees can be avoided. We are happy to answer in the affirmative.
To add to this, we will also provide some practical tips that can help you avoid as many fees as possible associated with airport rentals.
Inspect the vehicle of your choice for any damage
Imagine that you return to the car rental office and have a companion add the cost of damages to your already exorbitant bill. Not cool, is it? Well, the way to avoid this from happening is to have the rental car inspected for any damage before you take it off the site. If you find any damage, take some photos and report it to the front office immediately. This way, you can be sure that you will not be criticized for such bogus charges when you return.
Avoid fees
There are toll roads all over the world and each time you use them, you have to pay a certain fee. However, when it is a rental car, not only will the toll fee be charged to your account, but you will also have to pay the transponder fee.
Basically, the rental company will charge you for using their daily transponder on a toll road. They call it the "convenience fee." The good news is that you can opt out of the company's fee collection system and handle payment yourself. If there is a transponder in the car, keep it secured and use your device, if you have one.
If you don't have one, there is the option to use map apps to discover routes at no charge. If that doesn't work, you can just find the cash fee at your site and pay cash. Basically, do whatever you have to do to avoid tolls, especially from airport car rental companies that already charge a lot.
Fill the tank yourself
Normally, when you rent a car from an airport car rental company, the company expects you to fill the car when you return the car. However, if for some reason you don't, some companies will charge what's called a "refueling fee," which is often higher than natural gas. To avoid this, find a gas station within 10 miles of the airport location and fill up. After doing this, ask for a receipt showing that you filled the tank, which you did at a gas station.
Avoid insurance fees
The concept of insurance is very essential, but you have to ask yourself if you really need it to rent a car. This line of self-examination is important if you're only renting the car for a few days. If you think you can do without insurance, you can save money by eliminating any such fees in the contract. You can also get insurance through other sources because the rental company is likely to charge more than it should. These sources include third-party insurance companies, credit card rental insurance, and car rental insurance for labor unions, among others.
Get your own car seat
If you have a child or children, it's okay to take them with you on your tour, vacation, or mission. In the same vein, it is also important for children to provide child car seats in rental cars for their protection. However, we have noticed that car rental companies charge way too much for adding a child car seat. If you rent for a week, some companies will charge you up to a hundred dollars for it.
The best way to avoid this is to buy or rent a child car seat on your own. You can get one for as low as $60. The other obvious option is to bring a car seat from your home if you have one.
Use one driver
Many airport car rental companies allow you to list more than one person as a driver. Admittedly, this is a comfortable option, as driving miles and miles across town every day can get really tiring for just one person. However, as you probably expect, with these options come fees. Companies charge a "second driver fee". So, before making a deal with the airport car rental company, you may want to know the charges and whether you are comfortable paying them.
Also, if you are using a single driver, make sure the person is over 25 years old. This is because some companies charge an additional fee if the driver is under the age of 25. Perhaps this has something to do with the assumption that people in this age group are inexperienced.
Always book the cheapest economy car
Assuming you don't need something larger for a large family group (or a four-wheel drive for a winter trip), you'll get the best rate if you book the cheapest car option available. You will be asked many times to upgrade for a fee - don't do it. In some cases, no economy or subcompact cars will be available when you arrive at the rental counter to collect your car, so you'll end up upgrading anyway - and you won't have to pay for it. The worst case scenario is that you end up with an economy car, which isn't really that bad (these cars cost less to refuel, after all).
قارن أسعار تأجير السيارات الأسبوعية
لا يوجد قافية أو سبب للمدة الزمنية الأرخص لتأجير السيارات. أحيانًا يكون الاستئجار الأرخص للأيام التي تحتاج فيها إلى السيارة فقط، وأحيانًا يكون الاستئجار لمدة أسبوع أقل تكلفة حتى لو كنت بحاجة إلى سيارة لبضعة أيام فقط. بعبارة أخرى، تأكد من التحقق من كليهما قبل الحجز — فقط تأكد من أن شركة تأجير السيارات لن تفرض رسومًا إذا أعدت السيارة مبكرًا.
ضع في اعتبارك أيضًا أنه نظرًا لأن المسافرين من رجال الأعمال يستأجرون السيارات بشكل متكرر، وأن رحلات العمل تكون في الغالب خلال أيام الأسبوع، فإن إيجارات عطلة نهاية الأسبوع غالبًا ما تكون أقل تكلفة من الإيجارات في أيام الأسبوع. إذا كان توقيت رحلتك مرنًا، فإن تغيير جدولك بحيث تستأجر سيارة خلال عطلة نهاية الأسبوع قد يوفر لك بعض المال.
