Cheap car rental<\/h1>\n<\/div>

As a location independent entrepreneur, I often rent cars as I travel the world. Over the years I have developed a system to always find the best deals for the most affordable cars and to NOT get ripped off by the car rental insurance. Below are my tips, with some links for countries I visit often.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Car rental insurance<\/h2>\n<\/div>

First of all, the biggest savings you can achieve, no matter where you rent your car is by taking 2 minutes to arrange a continuous rental car insurance. Car rentals may offer cheap rental prices, but they usually compensate by charging ridiculous amounts of insurance per day. If a regular car insurance is around \u20ac100 per YEAR, then why would you pay \u20ac40 per DAY, just because it\u2019s a rental car?<\/p>\n

I have a year round rental car insurance<\/a> that covers me all over the world for just \u20ac99 per year. If you rent cars for 3-4 days per year then this is already cheaper than paying by day.<\/p>\n

With this insurance, when I rent a car, I pay only the rental basic fee (sometimes as low as \u20ac1 per day) and I don\u2019t take the insurance offered by the car rental. My credit card gets blocked for the deposit, and if I get into an accident, I do have to pay for it myself. But when I claim the expense, my yearly insurance will reimburse me.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Just like Booking.com for hotel rooms, there are sites where car rentals offer their \u2018left over\u2019 cars at very competitive rates.<\/p>\n

There are international sites like rentalcars.com<\/a>, Economybookings.com<\/a> and holidayers.com<\/a>. Both offer cars from reputable companies such as Europcar, Herz, Thrifty, Dollar, National, as well as local providers. Personally I prefer the sites specific for one country, because they have more local providers and knowledge. Just google for the country you will visit and \u2018cheap car rental\u2019 and usually these sites will pop up. These are the ones I use most:<\/p>\n<\/div>
