3. Pricey Underage Driving
Wondering why your friend got to rent a vehicle that was the exact model, on the same day, but your bill was more expensive? Could be because of age. Until you’re twenty-five, car rental companies have no qualms renting to you at more exorbitant prices and there’s nothing you can do about it but keep ticking off birthdays. Don’t be too distraught if you’re under this age though, as there was a time when no one under twenty-five was allowed to rent a car at all.
4. To Insure Or Not To Insure
Paying for your rental car with your credit card? Also paying for rental insurance? You generally shouldn’t have to. The majority of credit cards have collision coverage, so buying more insurance when renting a car is often overkill. Another way around holes in the pocket is to ring up your car insurance provider and find out if your policy covers rental car claims. One of the best ways to avoid insurance snafus however is to, wait for it . . . drive safely.
