Usually you will need an approximate time that you need the car;
usually base this around the arrival time if you are flying to your
destination. Then, you will need to let the company know when you will be
returning.
I suggest you return the car at least one hour before you need to board
the plane. This will save you the hassle just in case something
unpredictable comes up, such as a not finding parking or the rental drop off
area.
If you have a special membership discount benefits through AARP or AAA,
make sure you mention that. It could save you and ensure you the best
rental car rates. A lot of companies, such as Budget or Hertz, give you
a discount if you have AAA.
Knowing which type of car you want before you compare auto rental rates
is also essential. If you want a small car, such as a compact car,
then it will obviously be cheaper than a SUV. However, if you want a
luxury car, be prepared to pay more than average.
Remember when comparing the rates make sure you are comparing the same
type of car with different car rental agencies. One company may give you a
compact car for the same price another company gives you a SUV. Looking on
websites will let you compare auto rental rates and let you choose which
one is best.
