Car rental Marrakech
Renting a car makes travel more convenient and gives you the opportunity to really explore your new environment. Unfortunately,
car rental can also be expensive, quickly eroding your holiday budget. To save money on your
rental car, simply follow these helpful tips:
Bring yours!
These days we have all learned to rely on the convenience of GPS navigation which is especially useful when traveling. Many
rental cars charge extra for the GPS, however, if you have a portable GPS device at home, just take it with you. Another way to save money is to bring your own home seat if you are traveling with children.
Check the damage and film them.
To avoid unexpected costs for old scratches, make a quick video with your mobile phone, focusing on the damage. It takes little time and makes you feel safe to be billed for someone else's folded wing. Then, make an extra video when you return the car, so that you have proof that you are resurrected in the same condition as you removed it.
Check the fuel policy.
The fuel policy can vary considerably. A common fuel policy requires tenants to pick up the car with full, pay full on the
car rental site and return the car with the empty tank. This policy can be very expensive, especially if you do not use a complete one. It might be interesting to look for a
rental agency with a more favorable fuel policy. Many rental sites publish their fuel policy on their websites and most include them in the lease.
Save money on gas search.
If you need to remove the car from your vehicle, you can save money by looking for average fuel prices in the area you are traveling to. If you have a smartphone, you can download a fuel application that shows you the average gas prices in your area, and you also get the best deals.
Say no to extras!
Sometimes the base rate for
a car rental is a good deal, but you pay a lot when you switch to taxes and surcharges. Always read the terms in small print and decline the optional rates if possible. Examples of avoidable tariffs are toll transponders and rental costs directly from the airport.
Save on insurance.
The car rental companies seem to really push their travel insurance by scaring their customers with expensive accident histories. Get ready by doing a search in advance. Your regular car insurance can cover your rental and if you book with a credit card, insurance can cover accidents. If you do not fall into any of these cases, we recommend that you purchase travel insurance. Buying from an outside company will be cheaper than buying from
the car rental company.
Rent outside the airport.
Renting your car at the airport can be convenient, but it can also be expensive with most
car rental companies having to redo airport taxes. An easy way around the problem is to see if your hotel offers an airport shuttle, in which case you can
rent a car from a site near your hotel. Another option is to ask a
car rental agency that is near the airport if it offers a shuttle service to its customers.
Search sites with companies.
Many travelers book the airfare and hotel through discounted sites like Orbitz, Priceline, etc., but forget they can do the same for car hire.
Look for packages.
Many travel sites offer discounts on packages. If you need to book a flight and / or a hotel, always check packages including a
car rental. In some cases, the discounts are so great that the
car rental ends up being offered for free.
Rent a compact car.
A compact car not only makes driving in an overpopulated urban area that you do not know easier, but also saves money on fuel costs and sometimes on the rental price itself.
