Booking a rental car: small print, big problems
If you want to see more of the area where you’re spending your holiday, you can rent a car. However, renting a car sometimes results in problems. Sometimes you think you rented a car for a very good rate - until you get into big trouble because of the small print.
Tips from the ECC
It pays to go online and compare the rates of different car rental firms before you leave. Before booking a rental car, always read the policy and rental terms and conditions to ensure you select the best or cheapest choice for you.
We also recommend checking the car for damages when picking up and returning the rental car in order to prevent subsequent disagreement. Is there still a conflict between you and the car rental company? Be aware of your rights and the steps you can take.
