How To Save on Your Car Rental

Check employer discounts. Ask your human resources if your company partners with rental agencies to give you a break on rates. Or ask the agency outright.

Inspect your ride. Do the walk-around and check for marred paint, dinged bumpers, fractured windshields and torn seats so you can't avoid paying for what you’ve documented.

Get back on time. Your car probably won't turn into a pumpkin, but you're likely to pay for an extra day even if you're five minutes late. Read the fine print and use your cell phone for accurate time.
