Tips About Car Rental

Rule Number 1: Never rent a car.
Rule Number 2: If you didn't listen to the first rule, buy the extra insurance!

During our recent backpacking adventure around England, we decided to rent a car to make it easier to see Stonehenge, Avebury, and a crop circle in the middle of nowhere. During our 120-mile drive, Scott managed to smack a curb, bend the front rim, and send the back hubcap flying. All of this occurred within a mile of the car rental return location. Luckily, we listened to the second rule and $15 saved us hundreds. Maybe hitchhiking in England is safer than driving.

    I'd love to visit Costa Rica. I missed out on a trip because I was in Europe and all my friends went to a house on the beach and surfed for a week. Renting a car is nice to see all the small places and stop when you want to explore, but they just get really expensive, especially if you don't return it in the same city they charge a 'one way fee.'
    Thanks for the info!

    Renting a car can be disappointing for some times but it is not the case for all time. According to me car hire is the best option when you are traveling in groups and for long distances there is no such comfortable and convenient option than having a car. It depends upon you that which car hiring company you choose for your travel.
