Nearly everyone needs to rent a car at some point in his
or her life. It could be while on vacation or when your
current vehicle needs some work done or has been in an
accident. Enterprise rental cars are a great option for
someone who needs to rent a car. While they specialize
in local and neighborhood rentals, they also have
locations at many airports. They have some great perks,
one of which is a free pick-up service that is very
handy when you need to get to the rental office and
don't have a way to get there easily.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Enterprise rental cars have gone from being a very small
business to being a very large one. Their goal is to
provide service in neighborhoods. This is why many of
their offices are located where
people actually live and work. It is their claim that
90% of the U.S. population is within a fifteen minute
drive of an Enterprise rental office.
Enterprise rental cars offer many good discounts and an
easy rental procedure, but one of the best things about
Enterprise rental services is that they will rent a car
to someone who is not 25 years of age, provided they
have a valid license and a good driving record. Many
young people do not know that you can't rent a car from
other conventional rental services unless you are at
least 25 years of age. In my opinion, that shows that
Enterprise really cares about their customers, and wants
to have repeat business from not only the traditional
car renter but also the younger person who may not rent
a lot now but could be a potentially good customer in
the future.
The prices for renting a car from Enterprise are
extremely competitive, and you can find excellent
discounts by searching online. Like any car rental
agency, you can rent anything from an economy
compact car to a luxury car to trucks and vans. They
have all types of rentals available.
Of course, with any car rental, it is a good idea to
find out what costs are not included in the rental
price. If you have decent personal auto insurance, you
do not have to purchase theirs. This is
pretty much a rip-off every time. If you are an overly
cautious person, feel free to add it onto your bill, but
you really don't need it. Never return a car to the
rental agency without filling the tank first. It should
have at least as much gas as was in it when you got it,
or they will charge you a lot more than it would
actually cost to fill the tank. Hidden charges can cost
you a lot more than the quoted rental price, so read
over your paperwork carefully before signing anything
and take good care of your rental vehicle.
