RENTING A CAR Renting a car might be a good idea especially if you are a tourist. You can also check the rent car costs on our booking system here on bestofcalifornia.info.

You have to check different Car rental agencies in California and choose the best one. Focus on what is included in the deal, and find out whether any extra payments may arise when the car is returned. These add-ons can raise the original rental costs. They can include optional fuel purchase, extended insurance cover, collision damage waiver, delivery or drop-off charges, and vehicle rental tax. It is very important to check what exactly is included in the insurance policy offered by the rental company.

Everybody who is over over 25 and have a US or internationally valid driver's license can rent a car in California. A major credit card is also important, as a guarantee.

Also be careful when traveling abroad because taking a rented car across the border into Mexico is not permitted without making an arrangement with the rent agency before that. The gas tank should be full when you return the vehicle.

Car rental is usually least expensive at the airports , but please call the free 800 numbers of the rental agencies before renting a car.

Rental cars in California generally have automatic transmission so it might be a new experience for you, especially if you are coming from Europe.

Some companies offer cars with manual transmission (stick-shift) on request.

You can also rent a motorbike like Harley-Davidson and for the family a RVs (motor homes).

6 Useful Tips On Renting A Car Abroad By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Susan_Chen]Susan Chen When you next go on vacation the best way to explore a new country is by car. Renting a car allows you to sightsee at your own pace to tourist spots of your own choice. You can easily rent cars from car rental services, but there are certain things you should keep in mind when you are renting a car abroad. * It is a good idea to make all arrangements from the USA itself before you embark on your vacation.

Car Rental in Europe

Car Rental in Europe By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Ingle]Peter Ingle So you have decided to take a well earned break and go for a holiday in the European country you've always wanted to visit. You don't want to spend the entire week on the beach and you would like to explore the area that you are visiting. You could take a series of day excursions and jump into the tour bus each morning. A better idea however, in my experience, is to plan on renting a car during your stay. With a car rental you have the flexibility to go where you want to, when you want to. It can also end up a lot cheaper than taking taxis and tour buses to the places that interest you (especially if you are a couple, a family or travelling in a group). It is usually a lot cheaper to book a car rental in advance of the trip, as opposed to renting one from the closest car rental depot to your hotel. There are plenty of car rental companies that offer the ability to check rates and make reserv...
