When you want to rent a car, there are a handful of tips to keep in mind, according to Budget Travel Magazine.
One tip is to join the loyalty programs. Besides possibly getting lower prices, you'll possibly get upgrades and cars you wouldn't normally get.
Whatever kind of car you do get, you might want to skip the rental agency web site. Instead, try travel web sites.
Try the little guys. That is, you don't have to go straight to, say, Hertz. Instead, maybe try "Rent a Wreck.” Our comparison found a full-size SUV at Rent a Wreck for $64.99 a day, compared to Hertz, which offered most SUVs for $140 a day and up (although, on the day we checked, they had a Chevy Blazer SUV for $91 a day).
And when you go to pick up that SUV – or whatever kind of vehicle it is – you might want to consider not getting the car at the airport. Airport taxes can add up to 10-percent to the cost.
