Getting A Deal On Your Summer Family Trip

By Thomas Clarke

Summer is approaching quickly and many are looking to make vacation plans before there is no longer any flights or rental vehicles available. If you are considering this then you may want to consider finding a cheap car rental. You can find some of the best deals on auto rentals by following these simple tips:

1. If possible sign up as a frequent traveler with the company of your choice. When you sign up the company will ask for an email address, which they will then send discounts and promotions to. This, however, does not mean that you can only use them with that company. Many companies are know to honor competitor discounts and promotions.

2. Browse the internet for available discounts ad coupons. There are sites that are dedicated to placing any available offers or discounts for numerous companies. You can also locate coupons on many of the coupon sites and information web pages.

3. Discount travel sites, such as Expedia ad Travelocity, offer the best rates available. When doing this, however, it is important that you check with the actual company to make sure you are in fact getting the best price that the company can offer.

4. Be flexible. This is the key to truly getting any type of travel discounts. The more you can shift things around the better deals you can find. Keep in mind that many car rental companies actually charge you less if you take the vehicle for longer. Weekend and week long rentals tend to be the best overall deals.

5. Wait for the upgrade. If you want a luxury car but don't want to have to pay the extra price for one than reserve a mid-size car and then when you get to the rental place ask them if they have any vehicles that you could upgrade to. Most car rental companies will then offer you the luxury car for only a few dollars more, since that will put more in their pockets for a vehicle that would otherwise be sitting. - 31980
