SOME
ADVICE ON CAR RENTAL
Before
you leave home - Ensure
thay you are carrying both your picture and paper driving licences. The paper
licence is essential as it shows any endorsements you may have.
When
you collect the car:
- Check
the vehicle for damage
- Check
the spare tyre
REMEMBER:
- Most
car rental locations require a credit card
- Most
car rental locations will not accept debit or switch cards
- You
must have held a valid driving licence for one year
- British
licence holders should note that many car hire outlets will not release the rental
vehicle on sight of a photocard driving licence without also seeing the paper
licence counterpart.They may also ask to see the paper licence counterpart of
all named drivers.
- Always
ask what is included in the rates quoted
- Never
initial or sign an agreement without asking about each item
- Do
not over insure. If you have travel insurance you do not need personal effects
or personal accident insurance
- Pre-purchase
or Pre-reserve your car rental
- Purchase
from agents within your own country in case you need refunds or assistance
- When
you pick-up your vehicle determine where the drop off point is for your return
- Ask
if the return area has an attendant. If not, who do you return the car to?
- If
you leave the vehicle without check-in, examine it for damage and photograph it
from every angle.
- Drink
drive laws vary from country to country - for example in Italy if you have a glass
of wine and a grappa with dinner and you are stopped by the police - you will
be fined.
- Know
your speed limits - these vary from country to country.
- Speed
/ Radar cameras certainly apply to rental cars as well! The rental company will
be notified and the renter contacted by the authorities. Speed traffic camera
information is now being sent from one country to another. e.g. someone caught
speeding with a French registered car in Italy will find that the fine will be
reported to the French authorities if it is not paid.
- Check
with the Hire company if you can take the car out of the country you are renting
in.e.g. Going from France into Italy or if renting in Ireland can you take the
car into Northern Ireland or into the Republic of Ireland.
