Default Rental cars

Do you rent a car when you go on a trip?

Do you have a favorite car rental place?

I have never rented a car for self driving. I usually prefer a chauffeur driven car though I don't prefer luxury cars. Generally its best to hire a Taxi driver cum guide for now locations.

Well I have rented motorcycles at times in few hilly areas.

Hello,
Read carrefull documents when renting car from Avis company.
My complains are about behavior Avis rent car office in Londrina Brazil - agent Paula Suarez.
They delivered for me the GPS device with broken arm connector, just this one they had.
During the driving GPS fall down and screen crashed because.
When I back to Avis office in Londrina asked to pay 2000R$ is equal around 1000$, usual price for this device in any shop around 300$.
Never use Avis, Never in Brasil and Never worldwide.

Hello

Thanks for sharing this. No, I have never need a rented car. The bus system is really pretty good, and it's safe. We were able to get where we needed to go by bus. If we had wanted to go out and see the ruins, we could have taken a tour from our hotel as well, and I've heard that's the safer way to do things like that.

Thanks.

Hello
Remember when people rented cars mainly for the purpose of vacation transportation? These days, things have changed. The car rental industry has grown by leaps and bounds; the most current estimates available (for 2008) put annual car rental revenue at a whopping $21.9 billion. Airport rentals have historically been the main revenue driver, but that segment has remained virtually flat over the past decade and a half; the industry's growth is due almost entirely to the explosion of the "home-city" rental market — renting from a neighborhood location.

Those renting from neighborhood locations do so for a host of reasons. Some need an extra-large truck for that move across town. Some need a comfy hauler for a cross-country family road trip or a weekend of furniture shopping. And others crave a glamorous high-end cruiser for a fun-filled night out.

Surf the Net. As is the case with many purchases, you'll usually find the best rates on the Internet. Shop around. Buying online will afford you the luxury of seeing what rates look like on any vehicle your heart desires, without the inconvenience of having a salesperson breathing down your neck. Also, many companies offer special discounts to people who rent online. Rates will obviously vary from company to company, depending on vehicle availability, location and other factors. But rates aren't the only variable to consider. Consider hours of operation, for example; some companies may close earlier on weekends. Depending on your schedule, this might be a crucial issue for you.
