Best Car Rental Rate in Hawaii
I will be going to Kauai in Junr for two to three weeks and will need a car for a week and then a minivan for the next couple. Any advice on what to do to get the best rate?
Car rental prices vary from company to company, city to city and date to date. They're always changing!
You need to compare rental cars, rental car companies and rental car rates to make sure that you get the best deal available.
Here are the steps I recommend:
1. Compare multiple companies
If you have the time, check rates from 4 or 5 companies to compare their prices. Make sure to check totals for you proposed rental.. not just the per day rate. (companies have different fees for additional drivers, special equipment, insurance (if you wanted it), etc). Check for mileage restrictions -- unlimited mileage rates are usually a better deal)
2. Check for discount codes,coupons and specials
Check prices with and without discount codes that you may have.
Check your local newspaper and yellow pages for coupons. If you have an Entertainment book, you will probably have coupons for several companies.
Check sites like Hotwire for last minute deals for certain cities.
3. Compare rates from booking sites (travelocity,kayak,rental car momma, etc.) as well as rates from the rental car company websites directly.
4.Book as far in advance as you can, and continue to check back, if possible to see if the rates go down closer to the rental day... if so.. rebook!
If you do these things you can be confident that you have probably gotten the best deal available!
