Irresistible offers sometimes come with certain conditions of use. So here are some things to know when you want to rent a car in Islamabad or any other city. Especially when you find such an offer: too good to be true, sir!

I was planning to rent a car, and I found myself reading about what is so special about credit cards. This has happened recently. I had found an online site, an aggregator of offers for renting a car, and I had a rejected proposal.

The easiest way to rent a car

For us so far the easiest way to rent a car was to go to local companies. They have much more flexible conditions than large companies, require less warranty, and sometimes almost competitive. For example, we chose to rent from Rentals. I left a 350 $ guarantee, stopped from Alex’s card, and paid 140 $s for nine days of rent. That is 15.5$ per day. But car rental aggregators often have super great deals that we miss because we don’t have credit cards.

Warranty for the rented car

It seems to us an essential aspect. Always check what amount you have to leave for the car rental and how you will go this amount.

Many rental companies (Avis, Budget) require between 500 and 1000 $s guarantee, using a pocketed credit card issued in the driver’s name. The money to be returned, so you don’t have to panic, but have this amount available.

Why necessarily credit card? Probably because to get one, you are supposed to have already been checked by the bank, so you are more reliable.

In some cases, companies agree to take your guarantee from your debit card, but not always. Check before booking if you are using an aggregator. Let’s say you got on rental cars or easy rental cars to book the car and you have already paid. The rental company may refuse you if you do not have a credit card when you pick it up.

Bridge of the moment

The folks at Easy Rental Cars still have tender. You invite a friend, and when he makes an account, you both receive a $30 discount. Please find the details here, and we also found out this tip when we arrived from an acquaintance who was on the plane with us. Kudos, and let the news go.

Car insurance

You can choose to take out top insurance issued by the person who rents your car, so you no longer have to leave a guarantee. Most of the time, it costs about as much as renting a car, so the price doubles.

Even if you have taken out extra travel insurance for the rented car yourself, this does not guarantee that you will no longer need to leave a guarantee.

• Always check with the person who rented your car
• What kind of insurance do you have?
• What do you have to pay in case something happens?

For example, I found a lot of car rental offers online. It’s just that those offers didn’t include insurance that cost somewhere around $ 30 a day. From 10-15 $s, at 45, it’s a long way.

The car you rent

Carefully check the model, specifications, and number of seats to suit your needs. In Cyprus, for example, there was only one area where you could only go by off-road vehicle, otherwise all good, paved roads.

However, the rugged area was, in fact, inaccessible to an average car in any form.

Conditions and limitations

Some companies ask you to rent for a minimum of two or three days.

Also, check how old the driver may be and the costs to add more drivers or the fuel policy. Usually, the car comes with a full charge, and you return it with full payment / at its level.

Check the mileage limit

Usually, the lower prices when renting a car come with a daily limit of kilometers; after exceeding this limit, you pay a certain amount for each km traveled. I noticed that the limits start at around 100 km a day. Therefore, a lower rental price does not always guarantee you the lowest price paid.

Check the car and take pictures

After going through all this information and ensuring that you are aware of all the details, check the car well when you pick it up. Usually, this check should be done together with those who rent your car. If in doubt, you can take some photos or even videos to make sure you have no problems when you return the vehicle.

Cancellation of the guaranteed voucher

In any case, after you have returned the car and everything is ok, don’t forget to take the receipt that cancels the warranty.
