3 Tips for Saving on Car Rentals

As a small business owner, I’m constantly traveling. And since I don’t have the budget of a large corporation, I’m always trying to save money wherever possible. That’s why I’ve learned a few tricks about saving money on car rentals. Over the years, these 3 tips have helped my company save thousands of dollars.

Here are 3 tips for saving on rental car in Orlando or other locations.

  • 1. Use the Internet- Don’t just randomly phone a rental car company out of the phonebook. Take the time to do a little bit of research online, and you could save a serious amount of cash. For instance, I got my last Orlando car rental at a 50% discount because I found an online only deal. It pays to do your research!
  • 2. Book in Advance- Sometimes, this isn’t possible because last minute trips pop up. But if you know you’re going to be out of town in a few months, book that car now. I booked my Orlando rental cars about 3 months in advance, and it saved my company a lot of money.
  • 3. Get a Membership- If you travel a lot, a club membership could save you some cash. A lot of companies offer special discounts to their members. This means you can get insider deals that the general public doesn’t know about.
