9. One Is Quite Enough
Suggestion to all of you getting ready for that holiday road trip, or in for a long drive with multiple passengers: designate a driver and stick to your decision. You could be charged up to $30 dollars per day for each additional driver in your party. The idea is that you’re covering the insurance fees for the addition, but what it really works out to is an almighty rip-off. You might be saying: “But what if they get tired, and we’re driving fifty miles with bad music on the radio!” If it seems impossible to stick to one designated driver, choose two at the most. Any more than that and you might as well buy a cheap used-car for your journey.
10. A Well-Timed Rental
Like with everything else travel-related, one of the best times to get a rental car is following holiday weekends, or major events. This is because any cars on the lot that are just sitting there aren’t making the rental company money, which is a problem for them. These companies are way more willing to let a car go for a massively reduced rate just to ensure they’re making some money than to leave it idle. If possible, put off your trip until these peak times in the rental world and drive the vehicle of your dreams at the cheapest rates.
