All you need to know about renting a car online… or most of it.

Renting a car has many perks. If you are traveling anywhere with your family or friends, it is very useful to have a car at hand. You have the freedom of managing your own time, peace of mind, not relying on anything else for transportation, the comfort of packing as much as you want, the variety of options and the freedom of movement to go where you please without having to worry about bus schedules, waiting for an Uber, or the hustle of bringing your own car. Oh wait! Did I mention the freedom it gives? As you can tell, that is one of the biggest things for me when deciding on transportation while visiting any place.

Having said that, renting a car might be an ordeal in it of itself. Choosing the best rental company for you is one of the hardest choices, because of all the details you have to take into account; price, documents needed, what type of car, available plans, insurance… the list goes on. To make this process easier for you, we will be taking a look at the top 5 car rental websites. ​

​1. Miles Car Rental  With many different car rental agencies to compare, like Budget, Alamo, Hertz and Avis (just to name a few), 5 stars in Trustpilot due to customer service in many languages, plus quality and excellent pricing, Miles Car Rental has been recognized by users as one of the best in the business. The website has a variety of services that are not only limited to just the reservation of the vehicle. It also offers important discounts and various payment methods.
​
2. 
Viajemos.com  Thanks to their great prices, customer service, availability and variety of vehicles, users praise viajemos.com. The rental process is very easy and intuitive, not requiring much paperwork. The scheduling of the vehicles is very wide, so you can   rent a car in any date you find convenient. This website also books hotels, which is very convenient if you are planning a vacation or business trip. One of the praised aspects of the website is its accuracy regarding prices when comparing it to the car rental website or locations, as well as its low prices that include different types of insurance.

3. Rentalcars With locations all around the world, Rentalcars is well recognized as a car rental website. With its 4 stars on Trustpilot, users appreciate its customer service, vehicle availability, and it being supported by renowned agencies. The site creates an account with the user´s information to verify the status of the reservation or to backtrack previous ones. The website is very easy to navigate and well organized, so finding what you need is very easy.

4. 
Priceline Priceline is known for the “Name Your Price” tool, which lets you set the maximum amount that you are willing to pay. Although the tool is not available in all locations, it is a great way to find a last-minute rental car. Priceline is also a booking site for hotels, cruises and flights, which give customers many options and services to choose. Having a 4-star rating in Trustpilot, it is a website designed for travelers that like to compare prices and make a choice.

5. Renting Carz This agency is known for its customer service and optimal prices. The site has the option of paying for the car on site, but you risk availability. That is why you might want a prepaid service to ensure you end up with a vehicle you actually want. The website itself is “useful and easy to use” as described by a customer in their Trustpilot profile, where they have a 4-star rating.
​

Using the various websites discussed on this post is going to make your car renting process more enjoyable. However, there are some tips and advice you may want to consider before starting your car renting adventure. ​
Picture
Choosing a car to fit your needs is the first step. You might want to rent a van if you are travelling with family or maybe a sedan or an SUV. Size is not the only factor; do you want a stick shift? If you are traveling a long way, check if the car is gas efficient.

Then booking your car can be a bit of a pain. We already saw some websites that might help with the process. But there is much information in terms of plans, mileage, types of insurance, hidden fees, and so on. Make sure you read the fine print, regarding cancelations, age restrictions and availability, to name a few. For example, some car rental companies charge a fee if the driver is under the age of 25.

When returning the car, the topic of gas policy might come up during booking, if not, make sure you ask. Normally, you will have to return a full tank, so that you actually pay only for what you have spent during the trip. Also, make sure you know if any return fees are in place, since it might cost you more to return the car early.

There are many options, whether it is car types and choices, or companies that provide them. Always try to be one step ahead by doing research, finding the best car rental site for you and most importantly making sure you are taken care of. ​

I want to make sure that I get the right car for a trip that I'm planning on taking. It makes sense that checking out different prices would be smart. That way, I can ensure that I put everything together properly.

It's better to check all the necessary documents before renting a car. If you are at foreign country than they will ask for the international driving license and a photo identity proof like your passport. Thank you for your blog!

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am writing with excitement to share an incredible experience I had recently thanks to this article. A few days ago, I was looking for options to rent an affordable car in Miami.

While reading an online article about travel and tips for saving on car rentals, I came across the website www.milescarrentalmiami.com. I decided to give it a try, and I must say it was the best decision I could have made. Right from the start, the booking process was straightforward and fast, in addition to offering a wide range of vehicles to choose from.

Hi, I was recommended the website motordeviajes.com in a forum and I would like to know your opinions.
Does anyone know motordeviajes.com? I was told that they offer car rental deals from $9, cheap flights and cheap hotels. Before I make a reservation I would like to know your experience with the website, if it is reliable, easy to use and if they deliver on the offers.
Any feedback you can give me about "TRAVEL ENGINE", their prices, user experience and reliability will be very helpful. I have not made any bookings yet but I am interested in their offers, so I would appreciate any information you can share with me.
Thanks in advance!
