- Renting a car is a great option when you are traveling to other states. You don't have to put additional wear-and-tear or mileage on your own vehicle. If you are doing a one-way trip, there are national car rental agencies available so that you can drop the car off in another state.
- Prior to signing your rental agreement, you should check to see if there will be any additional charges. Most of the time the rental company will go over the contract with you, but it never hurts to ask questions. There are several things that can increase the cost of the rental like purchasing extra insurance coverage, fees for additional drivers, GPS monitors, mileage and gas charges. You may also be required to put down a deposit for the rental. The amount of the deposit can vary depending on several factors like the type of vehicle you are renting or the amount of time you are renting the vehicle. Rates also can vary depending on the day of the week you are renting the car.
- If you are going to drive your rental car to other states, there are several things you need to consider. You should choose a company that is located in the states you will be driving in. Rental cars can break down just like any other car. If you experience a mechanical breakdown in your rental car, it will be easier to replace it if the rental company is located in the city you are in. Or, you may want to drive to another state and then drop the rental car off. There also may be additional fees if you are driving the rental car in multiple states, so you should let the rental agency know upfront where you will be traveling.
