Latest News From The World Of Car Hire

by sparta

There are several news items coming to the fore which might be
useful to those looking to use car hire in the near future. It is
far from the simple matter of picking up the telephone directory,
picking out a car hire firm and calling to make your
arrangements. Check out the latest news on the internet and be
aware of things you should look out for.

First, there is the small matter of age restrictions. For those
under the age of twenty five, car hire is virtually impossible
due to high insurance costs. If you do find a company that is
willing to let the younger person take out car hire, then a hefty
surcharge will be expected to be paid up front.

On top of this, there is also an upper age limit which can be
frustrating to many of the older generation. For those over
seventy five years of age, they are also subject to the extra
payments that a young person faces, if they can get to rent a car
at all. If a person can prove they are using their own vehicle on
a regular basis and can also produce a doctor's certificate to
guarantee their good health, they may just be accepted for car
hire.

Another, usually obscure, matter involves changes that you may
wish to make to your car hire arrangements. Think about what you
need carefully, get it all down on paper and double check before
you finalise your booking. Any changes that you do need to make
after booking should be done no later than twenty four hours
before collection. And always, always read the small print.

Some companies, when changes have been made that mean the whole
rental will be more expensive will expect the balance to be paid
on collection. If the balance is lower than the original booking
it is doubtful you will be expected to pay any less than the
original agreed price and this can be a bit of a shock when you
turn up at the car hire company expecting a small refund.

However, car hire companies do have their good points when it
comes to looking after their loyal customers. One such company
have conducted a survey on what their customers want and have
responded accordingly. A high proportion of surveyed customers
called for car hire that could be used at a discounted price for
less than the original minimum period of twenty four hours and it
is now possible to rent a passenger car for three hours upwards.

This benefits those that need a vehicle for a specific occasion
or event or who simply want to run errands and do not want to
have to fork out for a whole twenty four hours rental. This is a
good step as far as customers are concerned in that it not only
means they get a better service but they know that being a loyal
customer means that they are being listened to.

One car hire company are now giving loyalty points to regular
users in a similar way that supermarkets encourage their
customers to continually shop with them. The system works by
awarding two points for every complete day a car is hired. When
the customer reaches one hundred points, they are then secured a
ten per cent discount on all future bookings and this equates to
quite a saving when car hire is used frequently.

There are also ten extra points awarded when you recommend a
friend and they make their first booking. This benefit is not
just restricted to the UK but can be collected throughout
Europe.

It would seem that business is returning to the good old
fashioned method of looking out for and listening to its valued
customers at long last.

look out for and who can benefit.
