Another way to find cheap car rental is to rent the car in the weekend. Most car rental agencies have special weekend offers. So try to plan your vacation, so you can use the car in the weekend.

Do you want a large Audi instead of a small Fiat? But do you not want to pay for it. Then try to ask for a free upgrade. Often the car rental agencies will give it to you, if the can. The reason is that they want your loyalty, and a cheap way to get it, is to offer you a little extra service. But it is an extra bonus, you cannot be certain to get. So do not plan your whole vacation on it.

There is a lot of money to be saved on the insurance. But before you say no to the insurance, you should read the policy closely, because it can cost you a lot of money, if you are involved in an accident and you are not insured.

On the other hand the car rental agencies earn a lot of extra money on the insurance part. So do pick the insurances, you need; no less and no more.

A normal car rental day is 24 hours. So you can save a whole day, if you keep it for e.g. 23 hours instead of 25 hours. So try to plan your vacation, so you can return it earlier on the returning day than on the day you collected it. If it is not possible, you can try to ask the car rental agency if it is possible to keep it a few extra hours for free. Normally it is not a problem.

And a final advice: prepay the car. It is normally cheaper than if you rent it at arrival in the airport. So find a good price on the Internet and reserve it. Then it is also faster when you arrive in the airport.
