Booking well in advance is one way of avoiding car rental Nightmares. You must ensure that booking is actually done, before commencing for a tour or safari in the country.  In most cases car rental prices tend to hike as it is getting closer to the pickup date, not down. Usually, these prices actually work on a simple supply and demand system and they go up as availability goes down.In case you are travelling during the holidays most especially during Christmas season, in this way one will have the best chance of getting a car at a normal and affordable price. After this season, prices hike up and this has been contributed to the overwhelming tourist that are taking tours during that specific period.  Within the country, most car rental companies sell out for the holidays, resulting in many travelers panicking in the last couple of weeks before a major holiday, struggling to secure a car. For those that are lucky enough to find a car will be forced to pay very high prices; three or four times a normal rate.  For you not to fall a victim, you should avoid booking in advance.

You should also make car rental reservations earlier. Usually, the details of making these car reservations are especially important if you are contacting various rental companies by email to get quotes. You should make sure that you provide them to avoid unnecessary emailing. Do some research on the various rental companies and their respective prices so that the most affordable should take the first priority. You should avoid the worst offenders even if they are offering the cheapest price. You should also note that no rental company is perfect so you will just have to narrow down your options.

To be on the safe side, it’s important to have your information about the date of your arrival at the rental desk. Sometimes, you may be tired and have the urge to breeze through the paper work, grab your keys and go.  However, it is best to resist this urge at all costs, because you will not regret it.  When reading your rental contact and the receipt, they should be read carefully. In most cases, some people get stunk during this time. You should make sure that all is clear about the fuel policy, because most rental companies require you to bring the car back with a full tank or else they charge you an inflated rate for fuel. Before you sign anything ensure that every charge and policy you are unsure of is explained to you.
