The Cost of Renting a Car

• Cost may vary as per the size and style of a
  vehicle. However, many companies rent economy,
  intermediate, compact, and deluxe cars. Most of
  the time, they offer special promotional rates,
  especially over weekends, but remember these
  should be requested in advance or confirmed in
  prior. In general, car rental companies charge
  four kinds of basic rates
• A daily rate with a mileage charge
• A daily rate with unlimited mileage
• A daily rate with a limited number of free miles
  per day and a rate that has free mileage over an
  extended period.

• Other following fees may also be included in the
  rental value
• (a) Car Rental Taxes In addition to the
  charges and daily rental rate aforementioned,
  taxes (which differ by state) are also charged.
  International rentals are also subject to a Value
  Added Tax (VAT).  For international car rentals,
  taxes often add up to 10 to 30 percent apart from
  quoted rate. At some airport rental locations, a
  few car rental firms may also charge an airport
  surcharge cost of about 10 of the rental rate
  besides normal taxes.
• Read the rental agreement carefully to
  understand possible restrictions, what the rental
  rate covers, and the liability of the renter. If
  you find a car rental firm is presenting a low
  rate, ensure that the agreements restrictions do
  not outweigh the cost savings.

• (b) Gasoline Charges While you check in, get
  familiarize yourself with the car rental
  companys policy on gasoline. Some firms will
  expect you to return with the gas tank empty and
  charge you a flat rate for gas upon renting the
  car. However, if it is not already full, you will
  be charged based on the companys gas rates for
  filling the gas tank when the car is returned. If
  you are supposed to return the car with a full
  tank of gas, it is advisable to fill the tank in
  gas stations, as gas prices are typically less
  expensive there.

• (c) Car Rental Drop-off Charges Normally, an
  extra fee is charged if a car is returned to a
  different location or city than where it was
  picked up. If you wish to drop off the car at a
  different location, make sure to notify the agent
  while making your reservation. And so, the
  drop-off charge may already be included in the
  car rental rate.

Car Rental Insurance Options

• (a) Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Collision
  Damage Waiver (CDW) 
• It is to be noted that the renter may be
  responsible for the first several hundred dollars
  of damage (the deductible) up to the full amount
  of the car, if a rental car got damaged. However,
  the renter will be free from responsibility for
  any loss or damage to a car up to the full value
  of the vehicle, by purchasing Collision Damage
  Waiver (also known as Loss Damage Waiver). If it
  is found that the renter violated the rental
  agreement, then the waiver is void or no use.
  Your personal auto insurance may give coverage
  for damage to the vehicle and so, the purchase of
  CDW or LDW may not be necessary. Rules and
  regulations for selling CDW/LDW differ from state
  to state.

• Generally, CDW/LDW is an optional feature, but
  still, a few companies want renters to buy this
  waiver.  Before you arrive at the rental counter,
  decide whether you need CDW/LDW or not (consider
  your own automobile insurance policy) and check
  how much this CDW/LDW may raise the daily rental
  rate (CDW/LDW costs range from 8 12 per day).
   Sometimes, you can find a special offer for a
  larger car that includes CDW/LDW as well. In such
  cases, the larger car may be less expensive than
  the economy car.

• (b) Personal Effects Coverage (PEC) See your
  auto insurance policy to check whether your
  coverage includes rental cars. This PEC coverage
  offers protection against theft or loss of
  personal belongings from the rental car.
• (c) Personal Accident Insurance
  (PAI)  Normally, this insurance is optional.
  Personal Accident Insurance provides medical and
  accidental death coverage for the renter and
  additional passengers, whom are riding or driving
  with the renter during that time. Verify your
  personal car insurance policy to check if it
  covers car rentals. If you find that your policy
  covers car rentals, then you may not need PAI.

• (d) Additional Liability Insurance (ALI) This
  is an optional insurance that guards the renter
  and other authorized operators against claims
  made by third parties for death, bodily injury,
  and property damage caused by using the rental
  vehicle. Again, check with your own auto
  insurance policy to find out whether additional
  excess coverage is already provided.

Car Rental Documents and Requirements

• An international driver license may be
  essential in some countries. All car rental
  companies insist on a valid driver license.
  Additionally, even if there is a direct billing
  or prepaid voucher to the client or corporation,
  many companies require a major credit card to
  guarantee payment. Be aware of your credit card
  limit, as many companies ask for immediate credit
  approval before renting the car that can reduce
  your remaining balance of credit.

• (a) Alternatives for Credit Card Payment Mostly,
  the rental firm will accept their own pre-paid
  vouchers issued by an appointed travel agent, if
  in case you do not have a credit card. Most of
  the companies will require a large cash advance
  or cash deposit, while some may require filling
  out a cash qualification questionnaire at the
  rental office during normal business hours so
  that it may be verified. However, the final
  acceptance of a non-credit card rental is the
  decision of each individual rental location.

• (b) Drivers Age Generally, car rental firms
  want renters to be at least 18 years old, but
  now, some companies require a minimum age of 25
  years. Likewise, senior citizens over a certain
  age are not allowed to rent cars in some cities.
  Ensure to verify the age restrictions while
  making your reservation.
• (c) Number of Drivers Read the rental contract
  carefully, as it mentions the details like who
  can drive the car. Even though policies may
  differ, many car rental companies permit an
  immediate relative who is of age to handle the
  car. Some companies also allow a direct business
  associate to drive the car. There may be an extra
  charge for any additional drivers.

• Car Rental Confirmations
• Make sure that you get a voucher or
  confirmation from your travel agent before
  departing. The document should include the car
  rental company name, type of car requested,
  confirmation number, date, and flight
  information.  If the car rental firm is sited
  outside the airport, a contact number for the car
  pick-up should be provided. And, dont forget to
  notify any cancellations to the company.

• Picking Up Your Rental Car
• Once you reach the car rental counter,
  provide your confirmation number, voucher and
  credit card, if required. The customer service
  agent will direct you to the place, where you can
  pick up your car, once the formalities completed.
  Read your agreement carefully before you sign it.
  Also, it is important to examine the car for the
  mileage information and any damage. Take a few
  more seconds to adjust your seat and mirrors,
  locate the controls for the windshield wipers,
  turn signals, lights (high and low beams) and
  cruise control (if applicable), view the horn
  placement and control panel for defroster, air
  conditioning, and more.

• Returning the Rental car
• Rates are mostly based on a 24-hour period,
  usually with a one-hour grace period to return
  the car. The average overtime charges range
  between 12 and 15 per hour and the hourly car
  rental rates are usually higher. So, if you keep
  the car for more than four hours after it was due
  back at the rental firm, it is worth extending
  the contract for another day. Also, keep in mind
  that weekend specials are applicable only during
  particular time periods. Therefore, keeping the
  car with you beyond that time may change the
  rental rate.

• Conclusion
• Take time to read your rental agreement
  carefully and ask questions to the car rental
  agent and to your travel agent if you are not
  sure about any particular thing. The policies
  discussed above may vary among locations and
  companies.
