Looking to hire a car? Yes it is easy enough to make a booking online but what other information
should you be equipped with when you arrive at the car hire desk?
Hiring a car can be a hassle free experience, but make sure you cover all your bases so you don't
run into trouble later on. If you have any special requests enquire about these early on. For example
if you require a baby seat let them know before hand to ensure availability. Most car rental agencies
will have car seats available but few will offer booster seats, so you may need to bring your own.
In most countries you will need to obtain an international driver's license in order to hire a car,
it is used in conjunction with your regular drivers license. Make sure neither has expired and have
them handy when you arrive at the rental desk.
Similarly, if you hire a car, you should check to make sure that your credit cards will not
expire while you're on vacation and make sure that your limit is high enough to cater for any
unforeseen circumstances. Don't do this at the last minute as you may run into difficulties.
It is good idea to have your car hire confirmation number handy when you arrive in case they are
unable to find your booking under your name. Also have the agencies phone number with you, if
your flight is delayed you will want to inform them to ensure you don't loose your booking or be
forced to hire another car.
If you are planning on having more than one driver for the vehicle you will both need to appear
at the desk to sign documentation. The car hire contract may not be in English, if it isn't, ask
if they can at least provide a document stating the terms of the contract in English. Alternatively
ask if one of the English speaking counter personnel can explain the terms to you. Keep a copy of
the car rental contract in the vehicle with you, if you are pulled over you will need it.
Hiring a car need not be a chore. If you have all your bases covered and all your information
handy you are likely to have a hassle free care hire experience.
