Know the hire terms & conditions
Similarly the conditions of hire should be the best of your knowledge before you rent the car. Look for the Terms andConditions page, see if everything is there and if writing is clear enough. On this page must be clear all the conditionsof the rental car, who can rent, insurance coverage, what is not included, and so on.
Know the prices without having to ask
Not always what you see in big letters on the first page is true. Choose a company where you can know exactly the price oftheir rental, including possible extra insurance without having to ask nobody. Of course you can contact them by email ortelephone but you trust a company to hire a car that clearly does not publish its prices or allows you to make a simulationas you want?
