If you have arrived here, you want to rent a car and are not clear about anything. In this post, you will know everything you need to rent a car at the best price and without surprises. Let's go there!
Requirements to rent a car
Obviously, the first essential requirement is to have a driver's license. In most countries
(all of Europe), a regular driving license is enough but in some countries,
they will ask you for an international driving license, which can be obtained
from the DGT for about 10 dinars.
Do not forget
your ID or Passport, since most car rental companies will ask you to verify
your identity and make a photocopy in case a problem arises. Also, take your
credit card with you because even if you have already paid, if you do not have
full insurance, they will ask for a deposit to release you when you return the
car.
Precautions and checks before renting
Before renting
the car, obviously read all the fine print carefully. But the essential thing
comes when you first see the rental car that you have been given. Check that
everything is correct in the car, especially if you do not have full insurance.
Usually, when
you deliver the car, it is filled record with the car's general condition
before starting the vehicle, to record the actual state, to be returned in the
same condition as rented.
Test that all
the elements of the car work correctly (lights, belts, radio). But the most
important thing is that you check the car's exterior to the millimeter and
record even the smallest damage or scratch that it may have. If you do not
state it, they may claim money for something that was already there when they
gave it to you when you return.
For the record,
it is also a good practice to take photos from all angles of the car to have
documentary proof of the vehicle's condition.
Best companies to rent a car
No one company
is better than others. What can be differentiated is between renowned global
companies and local companies that are only in one or a couple of cities.
For global
companies, it is easier to check "how well they work" as it is easy
to find opinions and ratings from previous users. However, if you book your car,
you will see opinions from all the rental companies. In fact, check the
opinions a lot, because even if it is cheaper, a bad company can ruin your
vacations.
You also have to
know that rental companies are oriented to different segments. For the same
car, there can be a lot of price differences. The car will be basically the
same (maybe with a difference of kilometers). The main difference between one
company or another will be the distance from the downtown office or the airport,
and the waiting time to rent the car (they have more or fewer employees hired)
