How to Save More on Car Rentals

How to Save More on Car Rentals

With most of America finally reaching summer vacation and the peak of tourist season, there is a good chance that you will be traveling somewhere this season by air and it is likely that you will need to figure out some sort of transportation once you get there.  The rental industry in general is not something that anyone enjoys dealing with, and companies renting vehicles to consumers may in fact be the most corrupt of them all with hidden fees and charges that never seem to come to light until after you have signed a contract.  Since most of us do not bring our attorneys on vacation with us to decipher these complex documents, this article will explain some of the more common tactics to look out for and how to generally find the best overall deal when searching for a rental vehicle.
Ask about Hidden Fees
Let’s be honest; none of us read the contracts in full because it’s just not a proper way to start a vacation, but to the horror of many consumers a few of the tiny loopholes can end up costing you hundreds of dollars or more.  For example, some dealers charge up to $100 to fill a thirteen gallon fuel tank, while others will add in ridiculous convenience fees so they can blindside you when it’s time to check out.  If you’re not sure what the contract means or if you’re too busy to read it as carefully as you should, ask the customer service representative to explain it to you in layman terms.  If they can not, or they seem hesitant, it’s likely that you’re about to be ripped off and you should go somewhere else.
Forget the Insurance
Nothing is more frustrating to consumers than to pay the extra few dollars per day for what they think is a blanket insurance policy only to find out that it does not cover them in many normal driving situations.  As a general rule, check with your credit card issuers about rental protection; most of them throw it in as a free perk to entice you to use their services.  It is often better than what you are paying for at the checkout desk anyway, so never pay extra for the insurance.
Schedule your Rental through Your Hotel or Online
This tip sort of goes back to the hidden fees sections, but the companies do it so smoothly it deserved a section all its own.  Picking up a rental vehicle from the airport or any major hub (where cruise ships dock, train stations, etc) will cost you an extra $4-$10 per day to drive the exact same model you would get form anywhere else, and often it is never mentioned anywhere on paper why this bogus charge occurs.  A rental car can often be delivered to your hotel at no extra charge by their guest services, or you can book the rental online before even leaving your home to avoid this fee.   
Package Deals
Combination bookings are often available for flight, hotel, and car rental; this is sometimes the best way to go since you are buying from experts who know all of these hidden charges inside and out.  Websites like Orbitz and Travelocity negotiate all of these fees before you ever see their specials, meaning you do not have to deal with the guesswork on which company is less expensive in the long run.

The Best of San Francisco

The Best of San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the oldest cities in North America. From its Spanish heritage to its modern American hustle, it’s a city of contrasts in one of the most fascinating parts of the United States. This is the Old West, the New West, and the American South West, all in one, and it’s a place you really have to see. It’s a couple of clicks away on your computer, too. You can get your plane fares, pick up your travel insurance for San Francisco online, and be on your way in a few minutes.
San Francisco- Shaped by history and the present

When you approach the city, you’ll see a huge modern city rising out of the horizon. San Francisco look like it’s built right in to the surrounding areas of coast and mountain like a tailored suit. From NASA satellite photos, it looks like crochet work next to San Francisco Bay, one of nature’s most spectacular harbors.

The old and new architecture, the hills and the quirky nature of getting around make San Francisco a very interesting place to visit. The famous street cars lumber up hills past elegant old style houses which were once the symbols of the future and now symbolize the past in this constantly evolving place. The big skyscrapers tower in the background, a meeting point between the desert sky and the sea.

Old San Francisco

San Francisco, like the rest of California, was originally an outpost of Spanish/Mexican culture. The original Californios brought with them some very elegant buildings, and styles of architecture that keep coming back in California. Old San Francisco was the most developed of these areas, and a lot of it has been preserved despite history and the Great Fire of 1906 which destroyed much of the new American city.

Old San Francisco was where the Gold Rush built fortunes overnight and lost them. It was where the Pacific trade began, and the Chinese laborers who built the western continental railroad came to take a “Chinaman’s chance” to make their money in America. The old city has been preserved lovingly, and is very special to the San Francisco natives. It’s something you need to see to understand.

The countryside

Outside the city is the tough country of legend, and it earned its reputation as being very difficult land to travel. It’s solid rock, it’s beautiful, and if you can imagine traveling a few hundred miles of that sort of territory on horseback or wagon, you’ll see what the early settlers had to deal with. This is fantastic country, perched on the side of a continent which is still moving, and it’s some of the most dramatic scenery you could wish to see.

The coast

The California coast doesn’t need to explain why it’s so famous. The coast people are as fond of their shores as the inlanders, and this is one of the most ecologically conscious places in the world. The coast includes the fabulous sea otters, Orcas, and giant kelp forests, as well as the surfing beaches. Grab a ticket, some good online travel insurance, and come and see for yourself.

Some general travelling advice on safety

Some general travelling advice on safety

By and large there’s nothing inherently dangerous about travelling abroad. In most places you’re likely to visit, you’re no more at risk of crime or injury than you would be at home. Nevertheless when the unfortunate does occur, it can often be much more stressful if it happens when you’re away from home and in unfamiliar surroundings.
With that in mind, here are a few pieces of general travelling advice for making sure that you’re as safe as possible while on holiday:
Securing your luggage:
One of the biggest areas of risk when you’re abroad, keeping your luggage safe and secure is essential for any traveller – whether you’re backpacking across Asia or staying at a caravan park in France, losing your luggage can be disastrous. One simple step you can take is to padlock your luggage and mark it somehow, so that you can easily identify it and that no one can simply reach in and take something. This can be helpful when you can’t keep track of it, such as when you check in for a flight. Once you’ve arrived you should carry anything truly vital on your person, until you get to your accommodation – where you’ll most likely be able to hire a locker or at the very least, leave it in a locked hotel room.
Prepare for an emergency:
Preparing for the worst isn’t always an enjoyable mental exercise but it never hurts – and if the worst does happen, you’ll definitely appreciate it. For example, it’s recommended that you always keep a reserve of emergency cash in a secure location as well as carrying some funds with you; never carry all of it with you at once and never leave all of it in one place. Similarly you should make sure that your travel arrangements can’t be spoilt by securing your passport, air plane tickets or other travel documents.
Research your destination:
Although there’s definite appeal in the romance of venturing into new territory without any preconceived ideas, it can be a recipe for disaster. At the very least, a lack of advance research is likely to be extremely expensive, as you won’t know what the average cost of living is – so you won’t know how much money you’ll need or whether or not you’re being overcharged. At worst, it could put you at risk of some serious hazards that you could easily have avoided with a little warning. The main point is that when you travel to somewhere different from home, it could well have different laws, different diseases and different standards of behaviour. A little preparation such as visiting your doctor for immunisations or reading the advice on the Foreign Office website can go a long way to helping you prepare for your specific destination.
