When you're renting a car or minibus for your vacation? Make sure you know what to check for and save cash on that rental car with this simple guide.

1. Make sure you have a valid credit card

When picking up your hire vehicle. You should know, that some car agencies will put a hold on some funds from the card until you’re finished with the car.
Oh, and don’t think of using a prepaid credit card, car rental companies won’t accept them as they do not identify who you are.

2. Fill up the tank before returning the car

Your holiday was perfect, but now it’s time to return the car. The only problem is you forgot to bring the car back with a full tank of fuel. Could you let the rental shop fill it up for you? Absolutely, but you be billed for the fuel at a higher rate.

3. Do not hire a car at an airport

Yes it’s easy to just pick up your vehicle right from an airport. But what you may not realize is you’ll end up paying extra for the right to pick up at the airport. There’s nothing the rental companies can do on this one since they also have to pay fees to the airport.

4. Stay away from unpaved roads

Not many vehicle rental companies that are ok with you taking your hire car off-road. this would be a violation of your rental agreement. If you wind up getting stuck in the mud with a rental car in a place where you shouldn’t have been driving you will be paying fees for damage,cleaning and towing.
