Car rental coupons come in handy, no matter when and where you are planning your next trip. Recreation costs can really be put together, so it's nice to know that there are ways to save some money here and there. More and more travel companies offer car rental discounts and coupons to help the tourism industry grow even more than it is. If you are a business traveler or want to go on a good vacation, here are some tips on how to save on car rental:
• Make sure your travel dates include Saturdays. Many discount rates are only available if there is an overnight stay on Saturday evening. When you wait at least Sunday to return home, you can save more money.
• If you have a preferred car rental company, check and check if you are eligible for any loyalty or membership discount. If not, use the Internet to find out which companies offer the most value. Remember: the lowest rate is not always the best. More importantly, how much service, maintenance, gas and total cost you get with speed.
• Always choose a smaller car and request a free upgrade later. It is much cheaper to do so. If this is not the tourist season or a major event is not held in the city, there should be enough large vehicles that you can get for free.
• The more flexible you are with your dates and appointments, the easier it will be to get car rental coupons. There are promotional codes that appear on a regular basis that can be used to rent a car in a particular city for a minimum number of days — usually three or four. Companies usually offer such discounts when offices in this particular location do not receive a satisfactory number of reservations.
• Read the fine print of any coupon or promo code before using it. Make sure you understand the specifics. Do you have to use it directly on the car rental company website, or is it intended for use on a third-party travel discount website? What, actually, does it cover: only the standard fee? What about gas? Can it be used only for a specific type of vehicle? Also, keep in mind that sometimes you can get a discount if you use a certain type of credit card.
Keep these factors in mind when viewing car rental coupons.
