How Can You Rent Luxury Car for the Prize of Economy Car
Temmuz 11th, 2008 | by admin |
You want to rent a car for your trip and wish to use a luxury car yet do not want to pay more than for an econo-car. So, how is it possible?
Just like airlines, rental-car companies also overbook, and the economy cars are usually the first to go. By booking the most popular model, you’re likely to get a better car without even asking for it. Your timing is the key for success.
What day you’re walking onto the lot usually makes a difference: In big cities, normally companies that rent cars to business travelers during the week will often hand you the keys to a nicer car at no charge if you show up in the middle of the day or early in the week - when most business travelers have cars out.
And the reverse is also true at resort destinations, which do the bulk of their business on weekends. The best time to score a free upgrade there is on Saturday afternoon, when most of the lower-end cars have been rented out.
Like everything else, the car rental market also lies on supply and demand.
