Car Rental RatesCar rental rates can be like a Chinese eggroll: you don't know what you've got until you open it up and start asking questions. A daily rental rate advertised in big letters usually has additional fees in small print, so proceed with caution. At the end of the day, with a lot of other charges added on, the final cost is twice the advertised price. Such is the world of advertising.
Increasing Car Rental Rates a Little at a Time
The low rental rate is what draws you in, but then rental agencies add small charges here and there, and the price slowly rises. It's like a restaurant with a cheap dinner special--after you have an appetizer, a couple of drinks, a coffee and dessert afterwards, the bill comes and gives you an upset stomach. While this practice is completely legitimate--it's been around for years--we find it misleading, confusing, and frustrating. Renting a car shouldn't give you heartburn.
At cheap-car-rental.com, our car rental rates are all-inclusive, so you never have to ask how much an additional feature is. You want a side order of insurance with your car hire? It's included. How about those after dinner taxes and surcharges? They're already in there. Cheap-car-rental.com is an all-you-can eat buffet, so load your plate with everything you want: it's all included in one low price. We wouldn't have half a million cars at thousands of rental locations around the world if it didn't work.
Our car rental rates are fairly consistent worldwide, but there are some differences in the features we offer country to country. Just as menus vary, so do national regulations. For instance, the standard minimum age of drivers can be 20 or 25 years of age, depending on where you are. We point out those exceptions to our customers, but feel free to ask about any particular countries.
