One of the most convenient ways to travel is to fly to a place on an airplane, rent a car and drive on wherever you like. At first glance, it might seem that renting a car is quite simple. But the expert has prepared for you information that is useful for every traveler to know. For the Car Rentals in Woodbridge area this is important now.
Price:
- When calculating the car rental price, it is considered that one day of rental is equal to 24 hours. Therefore, car rental is always booked from and to a certain hour, and if your travel schedule involves a rental of 3 days and 2 hours (i.e. 74 hours), then the price is calculated for 4 days.
- It is very important to know that if your car returns more than 29 minutes later than the agreed time, then the extra day rate applies.
- When renting a car for three days or more, the limitation of the rental period is at least 3 days, which usually guarantees a better price than when renting for a shorter period. If the car booked at such a discount is returned earlier than after 3 days, then the tariff also changes, and in the end, the rental price can be twice as expensive.
- If you pick up a car in one city / state and return it in another city / state, a surcharge applies for delivering the car to its original destination (“One Way Fee” or “Drop Off Fee”). The amount of surcharge depends on the distance.
Fuel:
Usually a car is issued with a full tank of fuel. If you return the car with an incomplete tank, you will be charged a fee for the missing liters, which may be twice the normal price of fuel. When returning a car with a full tank, surcharges will not be charged.
Driver:
The driver must be at least 21 years old, and his driving experience should be at least two years. In the United States and some other countries, Young Driver Fee applies for 21–25 year old drivers.
The rental car can only be driven by the people specified in the rental agreement. For entering into the contract each additional driver will be charged.
Payment:
Car rental can be paid using an Avis paid voucher (issued by Estravel) or by credit card (Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard and others). Despite the fact that the payment was made at a travel agency and an appropriate voucher is provided at the car rental, you must have a credit card with a sufficient limit when concluding a car rental agreement.
A credit card is required as a guarantee of payment when renting a car. A car rental company can book from the customer’s card an amount in the amount of maximum own liability (up to 1000 euros). Depending on the speed of interbank information exchange, the amount booked in excess of the total cost can only be returned 2-3 weeks after the end of the lease. You can avoid the deposit reservation by purchasing additional insurance, in which the amount of own liability is 0.
