Renting a car is a procedure that is easier, cheaper and safer every day. Gone are those times when the rental of vehicles was only for a small group or a thousand documents had to be recorded.

However, it is important that you know a series of recommendations that will make the rental a much simpler procedure for you and that will avoid many headaches.

Reserve with time

If what you plan is to reserve a car for renting on a date of high demand, the best forecast you can take is to do it with time. This not only because of availability but also because doing it closer to the date increases its price.

Documentation

To rent a car in the United States you will only need your identification document, driver’s license and a credit card in the driver’s name. Without any of these three elements you will not be able to rent. You must also have 20 either 21 years as a minimum depending on the company.

Car rental insurance

Most of the time the insurance that comes with the car does not cover roadside assistance and loss of keys, but you can always hire a separate one that covers both.

Charge for “One way”

It is the additional cost charged some companies for returning the car to a location other than where it was originally rented. You must be aware of this when renting.

Gas tank

When renting a car, the rented policy is usually handled full, delivered full. There is also the option of paying for the fuel and then returning it empty, but this is usually unprofitable because they end up charging much more expensive fuel than you could pay for it at a station.

Unlimited travel miles

Be sure to read carefully when rent that you are taking a car with unlimited miles, or in any case make sure that you are not going to exceed the allowed limit.

Main car rental companies

The most recommended are: Hertz , Alamo, National, Dollar, Sixt and Avis.
