Choose the Best Car Rental Wisely

The wise car renter knows that there are certain steps that need to be followed if the best deal is to be had.
Using the internet or the local phone book if you prefer, write down the phone numbers of about four car rental companies. BTW, I found a site about Buenos Aires car rental in Spanish: alquiler de autos Buenos Aires. It is easy at this stage to get bored but try not to overlook any because you may miss the one that has the best offers.
It is always a good idea to check out if the car rental agency is running any special deals at the time you phone as you could save yourself quite a few dollars. One point worth checking when you contact the car rental office is whether they are have any arrangements with airlines or hotels where a further discount may be available.
When choosing your collection point find out how they operate as they may have a free collection and delivery service as part of their package. A point to remember is the type of vehicle you decide to rent so just stick to what you need and don't be upgraded if you don't have to, unless it is for free of course.
Try to choose a car rental company with a low or free reservation policy as this is normally an extra if you want them to hold a particular type of vehicle for you.
For the best deals for your money here are some further tips when looking, finding and taking out a car rental.
Some people swear by asking what no-cost upgrades are available when they get to the car rental office first thing in the morning.
The great thing about arriving at the car rental office early is there is a good chance that you will get a larger vehicle free of charge as there will probably be shortage of lower grade cars.
Try getting an internet car rental as these types of rentals offer internet only discounts. If you are just renting a car on a budget then some companies will source the car and deal which matches the amount you are prepared to spend.
All companies expect the vehicle to be returned with a full tank just as it was supplied and will charge you extra per gallon if you fail to do this.
Look for packages like fly-drive-stay or fly-drive, these will get you great discounts on rentals, and what's more you won't have to worry about other details like a hotel or an airline, everything's there. Most travel specialist will arrange this for you.
Many car rental agencies will give a discount if you exchange your frequent flyer discount with them. This will obviously only really benefit you if your discount has a short life.
Just remember, the discounts are there but you must ask as they won't be offered so don't be shy because you will gain nothing from it.
