There are deals to be had, and this is the time of the year to have them!  There are a number of ways you can get amazing deals this time of year, and many ways to save money.  Here are some suggestions:

1. Online Discounts – Ordering your rental vehicle online is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to save money.  By arranging your rental online, rental agencies save tons of money by not having to pay for staff or extra expenses for them.  In return, the agencies pass some of the savings on to you.
2. Advance Bookings – If you know you are going to need a vehicle earlier in the year, ordering in advance can save you tons of money.  Rental agencies know that if you are renting a few days in advance then you are probably fairly desperate and willing to pay more.  If you make arrangements well in advance, you avoid the last minute bump in price.  If you’re planning a few months in advance, you might be able to wait until deals or coupons become available.
3. Weekend Discounts – Weekday rentals are usually more expensive because business customers can usually afford to pay more.  Rental companies discount weekend rates to attractive individual customers.  If you can, book your vehicle for a weekend, or include a weekend in the days you want the vehicle for.  If you include a weekend in your days, you typically get discount rental car rates.
4. Minimize. Most of us would love to cruise around in a sports car rental.. but do we really need it?  Taking the compact or mid-sized rental can save lots of cash vs the big SUV rentals or sports cars.  Often, if you book a smaller vehicle online or over the phone in advance, you can talk your agent into an upgrade when you pick it up.  Inquire about upgrades.
5. Email Coupons – Sign up for rental agency email newsletters.  Most agencies will send online coupons through emails, coupons that aren’t available any other way.

Good luck!

Whether you are moving, making home improvements or have new furniture, a pickup truck rental will fit the bill.

The rental rate of pickup trucks usually vary according to the truck’s size, towing capacity and bed. The length of a truck’s bed seems to be the most popular way to categorize trucks. The different types of beds include very short, short, long and step-side. Some trucks also come without any bed, which is called cab chassis. This type of pickup is typically used for commercial jobs, however, and not typically rented to the public. Pickups may also be rented according to whether they have two- or four-wheel drive.

Like other rented vehicles, a pickup truck can typically be rented for any period of time. You will usually have to rent the pickup for at least one day, even if you plan to return it the same day. For cross-country moves, you may be able to rent a pickup in your town of departure and drop it off when you arrive at your destination, as long as your rental car company has an office there and they have given you the okay. Be sure to tell them how and where you plan to drop off the pickup, however, to avoid hefty fines and penalties.

Though you do not need a special driver’s license to operate a standard pickup truck, it can be a difficult vehicle to master because of its substantial power and size. Take it on a few practice runs before you load everything into your truck and then realize that you’re not very good at maneuvering the vehicle. You’ll want to practice turning, breaking, accelerating, reversing and parking. Parking can be one of the hardest tasks to master when you’re not used to the pickup’s mechanics.

[...]]]> Looking for something a little more exciting? Why not try a Classic Car Rental instead of the same old boring vehicle everyone else is renting?

Gaining popularity in the mid 1990’s, the classic car rental industry has seen an explosion in Canada, USA, UK, and other countries where people love to drive classic cars. In some parts of Europe, notably Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland classic cars are generally referred to as ‘Oldtimers’ rather than classics. ‘Classics’ is the term normally given to the cars from the fifties, sixties and seventies. There are also numerous companies renting out modern ‘classic’ and performance sports cars which in the USA are generally referred to as ‘exotic’ cars or sports car rental.

You can hire anything from an AC Cobra to a Volkswagen, or a 1916 Crossley to a 1929 Studebaker.

You can also get a classic car rental for photo shoots or trade shows.  Other ideas include:

• Weddings
• Engagement Photos
• Corporate Functions
• Parades
• Trade Show Booths
• Television & Print Ad Shoots
• Feature Films

If you’re in need of a rental and you’ve got the money and the interest, nothing could be more exciting than renting a classic car to turn everyone’s head.
