Which car rental to choose

Traveling on a rented car has long ceased to be a curiosity, with the development of the Internet to take a car rental is not difficult, and renttakars in Rimini divorced apparently invisible. Car rental services are offered also by local companies with a small fleet of cars, and strong local companies, and major international giants, such as Avis.

The cost of renting in large companies is usually one of the highest, but for this money you get impeccable service, full compliance with international service standards and transparent transaction .In addition, the network company will make it possible to travel one way, having handed over the car in another branch, possibly even in another country .Large companies value their reputation, so they work without failures: they always provide cars in good condition, provide round-the-clock technical and information support .

Local distributors "take" loyal conditions and pleasant prices, but as you know, free cheese is only in a mousetrap, so when choosing a small company you run the risk of running into "not the first freshness" car if not for scammers.

If you are applying to a company that is little known in the international auto rental market, carefully read the contract before signing it, specify all the details and carefully inspect the car before driving.

Rent terms

If you are still only planning to use the services of rent-a-car companies, do not be afraid of paper red tape, the process of working with the client does not take much time. All that you will be asked for is a passport, driver's license and a credit card, which will be required to block the amount of collateral for the car (the lock is removed after the car returns within 2-4 weeks).

The requirements that Rimini's rental offices put forward are standard: age is at least 21 years (sometimes not younger than 25 years) and driving experience from a year (in some cases from 5 years).

You can book a car in advance (this is convenient and even profitable, as early booking, as in the case with travel packages, involves discounts), rent a car on arrival at the airport or use the services of city firms.

Rent price

The final price (it is necessary to understand that the figures offered on the companies' websites are just the base cost of the car, which in the end will likely increase with the high probability) depends on several factors, for example, the lease term: the longer you rent a car, the cheaper each day of use. In addition, car rental is still a seasonal service, in non-tourist time its demand decreases, accordingly, the services of rental companies also become cheaper.

For orientation: the average cost of a car from group C (Hyundai i30, Toyota Corolla) is 50-70 EUR per day.

Typically, the cost of renting a car includes unlimited mileage (be careful, some firms set a limit), tax, basic insurance, as well as road taxes; The lessee incurs such items of expenses as fuel and fines.
