Comparing Prices Will Save You Money: You will always save more money by comparing prices from a variety of car rental companies. While this may sound like a time consuming process, when you use a free tool like VroomVroomVroom, it’s very simple to do.
Don’t Forget Your Driver’s License and Credit Card: In order to pickup your rental car, you will need your driver’s license, as well as your credit card. Obviously, your driver’s license can’t be expired, and your credit card will need to have at least $300 to $500 in available credit.
Don’t Leave Visible Luggage Sitting in Your Rental Car: To minimize the chances of someone breaking in to your rental car, put your luggage in your trunk where it’s no visible. If you have a GPS unit in your car, you should also remove it when you park your rental car.
Don’t Use a Debit Card to Pay for Your Rental Car: Debit cards can be very convenient, which is why so many people like using them. This is also why car rental companies have begun accepting them. However, when you use a debit card, the rental car company will put a hold on at least $300 to $500 on your card. With a credit card, this isn’t a big deal because it’s just credit. But, when you use a debit card, the amount that’s put on hold is actual money, and it can take up to two weeks for it to be released back to you.
Fill Up Your Rental Car Before Returning It: To avoid getting hit with a large fuel fee, make sure to fill up your rental car before returning it. Gas prices are usually higher near airports and car rental company locations, so try to do fill up at the beginning of your drive back to LAX.
