Car rental and savings: is it possible?

 

We have already talked about the pitfalls that the Canadian car rental market can hide: presumed “cheap” rates which then turn out to be anything but, prices that rise upon delivery, contracts with the famous “miniature” clauses.

It is easy to overlook certain aspects or take some variables for granted, only to find unpleasant surprises on the final bill. Information in the car rental field is often lacking, and there is little transparency on the more controversial issues. There are those who promise a "low cost" car rental: is it really possible? Yes, but with the necessary precautions that Efay reports to us .

First of all: let's dispel the myth of the last minute . When renting a car you must book in advance. The last thing you will want is to be forced to rent the most expensive car in the entire fleet, just because it is the last one left.

Book on the internet, forget the handset. By booking online, you generally benefit from discounted rates and in any case you can keep an eye on the offers. Moreover, with the various search engines, prices are calculated in real time. In short, the range of choices is wider, you can "look around".

Beware of extras. Do you want the navigator? Do you have a small child in the car? All extras are subject to charges. Ask first: you don't want to spend 30 euros a day for the rental of your car and then find yourself paying 40 euros for a child seat.

Also pay attention to the additional fees. For example, the supplement for minors at the wheel, where “minors” are all drivers under 25 years of age. Most companies charge this rate, so budget it if that's the case for you.

Finally, a valuable advice that is always valid: asking costs nothing. Literally nothing: many companies offer a free call center service.
