When it comes to choosing a car rental company, there are several important factors to consider.  You want to know that the car you rent will get you where you are going without any major problems occurring, and that the company who rents you the car is reputable and reliable.  The key is to make an informed choice, and to do that, you will need information.  Below are tips that will help get you started, and bring you that much closer to making your decision.

The first thing you will need to know is the terms and conditions for renting a car in your area, or in the location where the car will be driven.  This applies to both renting a car and renting a car service.  The two most important are that the driver must be a certain age, and must carry a legal driver’s license.  Others will be specified by different areas.  In some cases, a credit check may be implemented.  

Make sure the person who will be driving the car has a clean driving record.  Many car rental companies will reject drivers who have traffic violations that include recurring speeding tickets, DUIs, and even seatbelt violations.  

Most car rental companies will not accept a cash deposit for renting a vehicle.  This is because car hire and rental companies need a guarantee of payment for the services they will render, so you will be required to use a credit card in order to make your deposit.  As stated above, a credit check may be run before the transaction is even put through, and you may be rejected if that check shows you to have bad credit.  

Know the size vehicle you will need.  This will most likely depend on the number of people traveling with you, and where you are going.  If you will be driving on rough terrain, you will want a vehicle equipped to handle it.  If you are driving around a city, a smaller car might work for you.

Know how much you are willing to spend on rental fees.  The cost can sometimes vary greatly from one company to another, so it really pays to check around before actually making a decision.  

If more than one company offers you the same or a similar price, compare the services each offers.  Also check the types of cars each company has available.  The last thing you want is to get stranded in a car that was doomed from the beginning.  Most car companies perform a regular check of their vehicles, so this may not be an issue.  Know the terms of each company, and be sure they are clearly understood.  This will help you through the process from beginning to end.
