As travelers get ready to hit the open road this summer, Hertz and the National Association of Realtors are offering some tips on how to save money on car rentals.
1. Look into joining the car rental company’s loyalty program, which typically offers benefits and savings.
2. Price any extras that your family may need ahead of time – such as the car size, child safety seats, optional insurance, a navigation system, satellite radio and more.
3. Familiarize yourself with the rental contract’s terms and conditions.
4. Consider using a rental car facility outside the airport as it’s usually cheaper.
5. Do the research into cost breakdown for days at a time instead of a full week.
