A car has long been considered an attribute of luxury, but is an indispensable means of transportation for every day. And naturally, the most convenient are personal cars
But buying and maintaining an "iron horse" involves significant expenses. That's why many people prefer car rental services.
And in order to get the most out of it and avoid any troubles, you need to consider a number of recommendations for car rental:
1. Carefully study the terms of cooperation. Renting vehicles is accompanied by some "pitfalls" and features that are spelled out in the contract.
Before signing the document and leaving the car park, you should carefully study all the terms and requirements - from the parameters of the insurance policy to the associated costs for non-compliance with any clause.
2. Discuss various nuances. Since car rental results in a blocking of a specific amount on a bank card as an insurance premium, ask how long it is valid and when it will be withdrawn.
3. Assess the appearance and condition of the car. The inspection must be carried out in the presence of a rental company employee, and any malfunctions and defects in the body, important systems and units are recorded in a special form consisting of 2 copies, certified by the signature of both parties. Also check the amount of fuel.
Rental cars are given out with a full tank, and the amount of gasoline in it may vary. It is important to return the car with exactly the same amount of fuel as you received it with.
4. Familiarize yourself with the insurance features. All cars available for rent are strictly insured. This is done to compensate for damage in the event of theft or damage to vehicles, as well as in the event of damage to the life and health of customers.
After carefully studying all the documents, you will not have to pay for unexpected expenses, since they will be covered by the insurance.
Also be careful on the road. Rented cars require especially careful handling. When driving in traffic, do not stand out from it, avoid sudden acceleration and speeding. Give preference to the central lane, stay alert in traffic jams and use signal elements to notify other road users of your actions.
5. Record the moment of returning the car back to the rental company. Such an act must be confirmed by the signature of the rental service representative
