Before renting a car, here are some things you should know If you're traveling for more than a short distance, renting a car will be much easier than waiting for public transport. Hidden fees can cause problems if they aren’t obvious. This list will ensure you are prepared.

1. Credit cards may provide insurance coverage To protect yourself against damage to your vehicle, you will receive expensive rental car insurance. This insurance may be required even if your auto coverage doesn't cover rental cars. Many major credit cards provide insurance that covers car rentals at no additional cost. Before you purchase, make sure to confirm this information. Some credit cards offer limited coverage, while others have no coverage. Make sure to check with your bank before you make any changes. It is cheaper to rent insurance than to buy it.

2. Credit cards might not cover all costs When calling to confirm your credit card's rental car policy, be sure to ask for specific details. Credit cards will pay for damage to the vehicle while it is being rented, but they won't cover rental fees. These fees can be very expensive. If you feel that you need additional coverage, you can opt for temporary insurance. This policy protects you temporarily.

3. Every driver counts - and prices Each driver that you register for when you rent a car will be charged an additional fee, even if they all exceed 25 years old. Consider how many drivers you need. You can choose to designate only one or two drivers in order to avoid paying additional fees.

4. Young drivers tend to be more costly Rental car companies used to prohibit drivers under 21 years of age from driving their cars. Although most rental car companies allow young drivers to drive, they might charge a high fee. It is usually a daily charge to register a young driver (under 25, though).

5. Stay on the Paved Roads It is easy to forget details when the representative from the car hire West MidlandsCompany walks through its policies. Unpaved roads are not allowed by most rental car companies. If you drive on gravel roads, or unpaved roads, your rental car insurance will be voided. Stick to the main road if you don't wish to be charged for offroad adventures.

6. Before you return the vehicle, make sure to fill the tank You only need to go to the local gas station before you return your rental car. Most rental companies require you to have your tank full before you can return your vehicle. You will be charged for refilling the tank if you don't fill it up. Local rates are often higher than those charged by rental car companies.

7. Avoid extra fees at the airport

Your airport car rental will incur a surcharge. These surcharges will be charged by the rental car company to the airport and passed on to customers. You can also rent a car by taking a shuttle from the airport.

8. To save money, bring your own extras It's the small things that make a big difference in your life that really matter. This holds true for renting cars. Are you looking for a GPS system? Do you want to listen to radio? By equipping yourself, you can save a lot of money. Satellite radio can be as low as $1 per day with higher daily fees for GPS systems or child safety seats. It is possible to bring your own accessories, but the rental company must take them from the car. Before you leave, make sure to pay the -- bill.

The bottom line You can rent a car at a great price and enjoy convenience without worrying about unexpected costs. To find out what you're getting and what you'll be paying for your rental car, you can do some research.
