• Hire Website Carrentals.co.uk Serves Up Hints and Tips for Keeping Rental Costs Lower

  Submitted by asap_press on 28.06.2010 09:23:40

  Online comparator website recommends more transparency in car hire and offers tips and advice for car hire value

  15 June 2010 – With car rental prices rising for the summer season, award-winning car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk is handing out tips to help people find the best value on car hire.

  Carrentals.co.uk recently surveyed 1,500 people about car hire and discovered that more than a quarter has had to pay unexpected high fees for car hire, and many of them attributed this to a lack of transparency on the part of hire providers.

  Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “The poll we carried out shows that there is a need for increased clarity in car hire, with many respondents saying that they felt they paid expensive charges on top of the rental fee. We want everyone to be able to relax when renting a car without worrying about how to keep charges like insurance and fuel surcharges down.”

  Carrentals.co.uk has handed out some advice on car hire to help people keep costs down:

  •    Credit Card Requirement – Always have a credit card with the driver’s name on it to pay for the vehicle hire, that of a passenger in the car will not be sufficient.
  
  •    Excess Insurance – Keep an eye out for expensive excess charges on the policy. Buying an excess charge insurance policy in advance from a third party is an excellent way to save money. Keep a copy of your Collision Damage Excess Waiver insurance with you. Carrentals.co.uk offers Collision Damage Excess Waiver policies from Questor Insurance for only £3.99 a day.

  •    Border Charges – Check with your hire company to see whether you have to pay a charge for driving the rental car into another country.

  •    One Way Rentals – Anybody who wants to hire a car one way should remember that suppliers often charges as much as £300 for this, so check in advance what the costs are before booking your hire car.

  •    Out of Hours – Some rental companies in smaller destinations will charge the hirer for picking up a car ‘out of hours’. If they have to open their office at unusual hours then they can charge a fee.

  •    Fuel Policies – These typically vary by the company that hires the car, and there are three types – returning the car with a full tank, paying for that fuel you have used and picking it up with a full tank and taking it back empty. This last policy can be expensive because car hire firms charge up to 40% more than pump prices to refill themselves.

  •    Child Seats – Simple enough to hire but prices and availability can vary. Can be charged out at up to £60 a week for rental, so if your baggage restrictions allow it, you might want to take one with you from home.

  Carrentals.co.uk’s car hire tips and hints form part of its ‘Raising the Standard’ campaign, in which the company calls for more fairness and transparency in the travel sector.
