It is not enough just to find a company and pay when you are rental a car. To get the best deal you should follow those 5 steps:

1. Pick three or four car rental agencies that offer what you want and need. You can find them in the phonebook, but today it is probably better to use the internet. Scan every possible offer before choosing a company. It is a shame to miss the best price just because you got bored from looking.

2. Contact the agency and ask about their special offers, location, availability, pickup sites, rates, special rates, hotel and airline partnerships, extra charges and insurance. In short ask for everything you can think of that can help lower what you have to pay for your car rental; or what would make the car rental more convenient for you.

3. Find a pickup point that works for you and one that will not be a hassle. Some car rental agencies accept to pay for a cab to take you to the pickup pint, while others will pick you up at the airport or at your home.

4. Find a car that suits your needs. If you whole family is going, you should pick a large car that fits all of them. If you a going alone, a compact model is normally cheaper, because most agencies charge more for larger cars.

5. When you have decided which car to rent, you must remember to book it. Some agencies put the reservation fee on the overall rent, while other makes it out as an extra fee. Always look of for this when renting a car.

So the way to get a car rental that you will be satisfied with is to choose the best car rental firm, ask all the questions, find a pickup location, choose the right car size and make the booking. If you do so, you are pretty sure to get a good car hire.
