Without doubt there are many ways of being able to know a destination, walking, bicycles, cars, boats, etc.. But there are certain places where a good option is to rent a car to be able to move freely from one point to another, so we can enjoy our own whims of all the attractions it offers us the destination receiver.

When you rent a car, how do you get the best rates and save money?

Some credit cards cover car insurance if it pays them rent. Others offer discounts or the possibility of "upgrades" (ie, rent a car better, newer or larger). On this we must find out from the issuing company and request details on the scope of coverage.

It is best to choose the car smaller and more basic a need, no extra frills.

Make reservations as early as possible. The cars are the cheapest that are rented first, and sometimes one is forced to rent a more expensive than desired. Sometimes it is cheaper to opt for a package including air, accommodation and rental car. On this we must consult with our travel agent. Belonging to a frequent flyer program in many cases we can obtain discounts. Or vice versa: do not forget to collect points to earn miles for car rentals. Many rental companies are associated with a mileage program.

How to choose a rental agency cars?

Not only should look at the tariffs. Also, check if it is associated with a frequent flyer program, as it is possible to use accumulated miles for discounts or continue to accumulate points.

We must check the availability of points of retreat and surrender, and their days and hours of operation. Verify the type of insurance they offer, as well as providing assistance in case of accidents on the road and damage mechanics.

What requirements must be to rent a car?

It must have international driver's license and a document proving our identity (usually passport). Most companies required to have at least 25 years. Children up to 21 or 18 years must pay an extra.

The rental car can be driven by more than one driver?

Yes, but we need to provide this information to the insurance company is valid. Further, when police stopped the car and the driver is not listed as authorized to drive, could be arrested. Some companies charge an extra fee when more than one driver.

What distance can be covered with the car?

While rents are done per day or per week, in some cases there are limitations on the amount of miles that can be filled. Must consult with the company for choosing the plan that best fits us, our route, because if we go beyond the limits should pay extra charges.
