Paying in Advance

Many rental car vendors offer a prepayment option that usually saves you around 15-15%. However, it's important to remember that if you cancel this type of reservation, you are likely on the hook for a cancellation fee.

Avoiding Airport Pick-Up Locations

If you don't want to deal with the hassle and expense of picking up a rental car at an airport you can avoid it by renting from a non-airport location. Savvy renters should check the online comparison sites to see if the companies they're considering are "On-Airport" or "Off-Airport."

On-Airport locations can charge extra for a variety of services including VAT taxes (which vary among different countries), equipment charges, and insurance fees. The prices for these fees can be more than double what you'll pay if you choose an off-airport location instead.

Off-airport locations usually offer a shuttle bus to the airport. But you should note that this could add another hour or more to the total rental time and will cost you money if you're bringing your own prepaid airfare.

Avoiding Additional Driver Fees

Hertz also waives the fee for employees and business associates.

Another tip to avoid these charges is to return the vehicle on time. If you make a late return, you can be hit with a full day of charges. Some rental companies offer after-hours returns but this can be risky as you’re responsible for the condition of the car until the office opens again.

Getting a Better Deal
