Why rent a car?
Gone are the days when you arrived at a resort or city
hotel and stayed there for your entire vacation.
Renting a car is most definitely the way to go.
You miss so much when you do not rent your own car
and have the opportunity to discover the 'real' area
that you are visiting. Of course you need to do some
research before you set off on your own. My parents
discovered that it was not such a great idea to stray
off the usual path when they were in Israel and found
themselves apprehended by the military for
sightseeing in a no-go zone.
However once you have checked the maps, spoken to
the locals to ascertain if there are any unknown pitfalls
on your chosen route then you can hit the open road.
Before driving off though double check that you know
the correct side of the road on which you should be
driving. Never a good thing to overlook especially
when you are tired, and half way down a tremendously
steep hill and suddenly remember that you are in
England and a car heading toward you at breakneck
speed is not going to budge an inch as you are
stupidly on the wrong side.
The great part though of being independent and
being able to explore on your own is that you get a
true feeling for the country and the people. The
guided tours and supervised excursions are great but
they only skim the surface. There's nothing like being
able to discuss the wonderful café that you discovered
in Provence or the road less travelled to that quiet
idyllic sandy beach.
So next time you travel don't forget to book your car. If
you are confident of driving on arrival make sure that
your car rental company of choice is located actually
in the airport. They may charge a supplement tax for
this convenience but it is well worth the small extra
cost.
If you are worried about being tired when you arrive
then book the car for the next day and arrange a
pickup close to your hotel. Double check their location
for drop off and their terms and conditions regarding
gas/petrol, mileage, county line policy etc. Regarding
insurance we would recommend that you accept the
car rental companies upgraded insurance or have in
hand the best cover possible. We have heard such
horror stories when an accident has occurred that it is
just not worth the risk of cutting back on the best
insurance. Also don't be afraid to ask for someone to
go through the controls of the car with you. There may
be something which is entirely different to any car that
you have driven before and, this relatively simple
something, could be a potential headache when you
are miles away trying to find out how to open the gas
tank or hood.
Remember your drivers licence and other important
documents. Grab your map, drive carefully and have
a great time.
Well I think that we have covered most aspects of
hiring a car on your next trip but if you have any
additional advice then please let us know so that we
can add it to this page.
