Car Rental Tip #4 - Beware Of Hidden Fees

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Lisel Hlista here for TravelWishtv.com with your car rental travel tip.
Beware of hidden fees and taxes. Make sure to return your rental car with the same amount of gas that was in it when you left. The rental company keeps track of this and if you think gas is expensive now wait until you see what the rental company will charge your credit card per gallon.

Also stay away from renting at an airport if you can. Often times an additional “airport fee” in excess of $10 per day can be tacked unto your bill. Texas airports were the chief offenders, but airports in states like Arizona, Ohio, Maryland, Missouri and New Mexico also cost renters more in taxes and fees.

Another hidden fee is the excess taxes in addition to the sales tax such as the licensing fees, “arena fees,” mileage fees, or other confusing fees. Renter beware if you see any rates below $20 per day. These rates are too good to be true and are often loaded with hidden taxes.

ATL SkyTrain and Rental Car Center Now Open!

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has presented its biggest holiday gift for passengers: a new, state-of-the-art rental car center and ATL SkyTrain, which began service today.

The new center gives customers instant, streamlined access to all of the Airports rental car companies and their associated operations in one convenient location: a 67.5-acre facility just west of the Airport. A five-minute ride on the elevated automated people mover, the ATL SkyTrain, connects passengers with the main terminal building.

The future has arrived. Our passengers will enjoy the speed and convenience of having all rental car operations, including customer transaction counters and vehicles, in one easily accessible location, said Aviation General Manager Ben DeCosta.

Hartsfield-Jackson is the first airport in the country to open a rental car center and its associated people mover system simultaneously.

More than 2 million passengers complete rental car transactions each year at Hartsfield-Jackson, so it was imperative to develop a solution to meet the increasing needs of travelers both today and in the future, DeCosta said.

Customers should follow these simple steps when renting cars at Hartsfield-Jackson:
•Pick up checked luggage at the north or south baggage claim area.
•Follow the overhead signs and hallway placards to the rental car center.
•Proceed out of the west end of the terminal under the covered walkway.
•Take the escalator up to the station and board the ATL SkyTrain to the rental car center.

The ATL SkyTrain also will benefit people who are attending events at the Georgia International Convention Center. The train stops there on its way from the terminal to the rental car center, making Hartsfield-Jackson the first major airport in the nation to be connected by people mover to a convention center.

The rental car center and ATL SkyTrain will have a positive impact on the environment as well as on customers. The ATL SkyTrain is minimizing Hartsfield-Jacksons carbon footprint by taking more than 125 rental car company shuttle buses off the streets. Removing the buses and reducing the number of rental cars on the roadways around the terminal also will improve traffic flow at the Airport.

The rental car center and ATL SkyTrain are major components of the Airports $6 billion-plus Capital Improvement Program. The City of Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson began planning the rental car center and ATL SkyTrain in early 2000 and started construction in 2006.

Car Rental Tip #3 - Rental Insurance

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

travelwishtv.com
Most renters know to decline the insurance and then are often swayed at the last second by a salesperson pressuring them that the insurance will actually save you money. When renting a car, you’ll be offered a collision damage waiver (CDW) and a loss damage waiver (LDW). The first covers you in the event of a collision, while the second covers any loss to the rental company. Both kinds of coverage are a good idea, but not if they duplicate coverage already included in your own insurance policy. Most insurance policies offer liability coverage to protect you if you injure someone in an accident; some also cover rental-car damage via comprehensive and collision coverage. Check your policy or call your insurance agent to verify coverage before signing up for a vehicle. If you’re renting the car with a credit card, your card provider even cover damage to the vehicle in result off a collision. Again, check with your card company ahead of time to make sure.

Car Rental Tip #2 - Weekly & Monthly Rates

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

travelwishtv.com
For the lowest rates try aiming for a weekly or even a monthly rate.
For example if the daily rate is 59.99 you can often rent that same vehicle for 259.99 for the week. A saving of over 30% if you used that vehicle for all 7 days. As a general rule if you are planning on using the vehicle for 5 days or more your best bet is the weekly rate.
