Then you can see the cheapest price for the various car models.
Try to plan your car rental need for the weekend. Most car rental agencies have special weekend offers, so you can save a lot of money, if you rent the car in the weekend.
Another way to find cheap car rental is long term rental. It is often possible to rent a car for a week for the same price as 4 or 5 days will cost you.
Do you want a large Audi instead of a small Fiat? But do you not want to pay for it. Then try to ask for a free upgrade. Often the car rental agencies will give it to you, if the can. The reason is that they want your loyalty, and a cheap way to get it, is to offer you a little extra service. But it is an extra bonus, you cannot be certain to get. So do not plan your whole vacation on it.
You can save a lot of money on the insurance. But be sure to read the policy closely, before you say no to the insurance. It can cost you a lot of extra money, if you are involved in an accident.
On the other hand is the insurance a nice way for the car rental agencies to earn some extra, easy money. So use your common sense and pick only the insurances, you really need.
Remember that a rental day is 24 hours. So if you e.g. arrive in the airport at 2 pm and have to leave at 5 pm, you can save a rental day by collecting the car a little later; or returning it a little earlier. Sometimes it is also possible to make a deal with the car rental agency, so you can keep the car a few extra hours for free
And a final advice: prepay the car. It is normally cheaper than if you rent it at arrival in the airport. So find a good price on the Internet and reserve it. Then it is also faster when you arrive in the airport.
