Discount Rental Car - How to get a Discount

You should always make sure that a rental car that you used is filled up with gas before taking it back to the rental car company. Instead of buying gas for it like you’re buying it for your own car, you’ll want to pick the cheapest gas that you can find and fill the tank up and return it. This way you’re saving money by not buying the highest price gas. Also another reason you want to go with filling the tank up with cheaper gas, is because if you don’t fill it up, after taking it back to the rental car lot, they will fill it up with the gas that they have at the property and this will cost a lot more than what you want to pay for gas. A second advantage that you might want to consider is reserving a car early from a rental company. There are many rental companies that will give you a discounted price just for renting the car early before you need it. If you plan on using the rental car for more than just a few days, it would be a good idea to ask the people that work there if you can pay a flat rate, which would come out to being a lot cheaper. The reason it will be cheaper is because a lot of car rental places offer a discount for the sixth and seventh day of the week for renting the car. A lot of different traveling agencies and hotels will offer car rental packages as well. Make sure you ask you’re travelling agent about any special discount car rentals that they may have available so that you are getting the best deal possible. Some car rental companies may even let you have a discount in exchange for one of your frequent flyer miles. If you predetermine your budget, then a rental car company can give options that will fit the budget that you have which will save you more time and help you to better make a decision on what rental you want to choose. By looking online for a great deal, you can get an “online rental only” discount, and reserve the vehicle that you want online. This is a good benefit because it saves you time and money from driving around places or having someone taking you somewhere to look for a rental car, plus you get a discount that is limited to online shoppers only. One last tip that I would like to add, is that you should try going to pick up your rental car early when the place first opens. Most of the times there is a shortage in the economy cars when they first open, and the car you will want will not be there, allowing an open door for you to possibly get a free upgrade when the car that you had reserved isn’t available.(
