Think carefully about what kind of vehicle you'll need. While it's impossible to eliminate distress entirely, taking time to think about your needs before your trip can help keep distress to a minimum.
2.Booking Your Car
Always shop around. Check the major booking engines and aggregator sites (such as Travelocity and Kayak) to get an idea of what rates are available, but you should also visit the car rental companies' Web sites as well .
3.The True Cost of Car Rentals
Buyer beware: The rate you see advertised in big print may become so inflated with state and local taxes, airport surcharges, additional driver fees, insurance, gasoline bills and drop-off charges that you end up paying more than double what you expected.
