When traveling some of us have made the mistake od simply arriving, going to the nearest car rental place and just asking for an economic one, or one that looks cool for the next couple of days. It sounds like a simple thing to do right? Just get there, pay and drive away.

But that is how you end up in an uncomfortable car, too big or too small for the place you are visiting or just no the best fit for you. Take a look at the list below to find information about three things you need to take into consideration before you get a rental car.

How to Choose the Right Car to Travel

What are your TRAVELING needs?

Your needs while traveling change drastically, you won’t need the same type of car when going to work than you would when you go on a long road trip. The same happens with different terrains. You can’t take a small sedan to an outdoor adventure.

You also need to consider the fact that you are traveling with luggage. So consider that when thinking about the size of car that you want to get.

But not all car rental companies have the same sizes and models so it is a task that you need to do before you decide to travel. Find the right company for you, it should have the car that you need and the right prices.

How Modern is it?

Aside from being the right size, model and with the right internal amenities you need to consider other small things that might be beneficial. technology has made a lot of huge advances that make your life easier like the smart trunk. A technology that will allow you to open the trunk in a much easier way without having to juggle whatever you might be carrying or having to put it on a dirty road.

Get Tavel Insurance

Another important thing that you need to consider before renting a car is the travel insurance policies that the rental company might have. And if they don’t have you need to speak to your insurance company about it.

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again. Having travel insurance when renting a car is an absolute must! Most aren’t expensive and they will have you and your patrimony covered in case something happens to the car.

Bonus: Don’t forget to ask several times and to different people about requirements, penalties, fees and extra charges that there might be.
