Choosing a Car
There are many car hire companies and website car hire brokers so do your research online and consider all the options available.
You can either go direct to the actual car companies – Hertz, Avis, National and Alamo are four of the biggest – or book through an agent that consolidates car companies, such as Holiday Autos, Expedia or Carrentals. Check what you are paying in advance and what you will need to pay at the car hire counter. With agents you sometimes only pay a deposit, with the remainder of the booking paid at the counter or at the end of your holiday.
It usually pays to book your car in advance to save money, and there is rarely any benefit in leaving it to the last minute. Always get a few quotes first from a number of car hire companies. Obviously the price will play a major part in your choice but also consider where you will pick up and drop off the car and any extra costs.
