Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Car Rental shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Car Rental offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Car Rental at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Car Rental? Wrong! If the Car Rental is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Car Rental then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Car Rental? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Car Rental and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Car Rental wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Car Rental then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Car Rental site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Car Rental, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Car Rental, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

A car rental, rent-a-car or car hire agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods of time (ranging from a few hours to a few weeks) for a fee. It is an elaborate form of a rental shop, organized in numerous local Branch#Organizationses, primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online Computer reservations system. There are also third party websites (such as online travel agency) which compare quotes from the major car rental agencies.

Car rental agencies primarily serve people who have a car that is temporarily out of reach or out of service, for example travel who are out of town or owners of damaged or destroyed vehicles who are awaiting repair or auto insurance compensation. Because of the variety of sizes of their vehicles, car rental agencies may also serve the self-moving industry needs, by renting vans or trucks.

Car rentals are subject to many conditions which vary from one brand to another. The vehicle must be returned in a good condition and must not exceed a maximum driven distance, otherwise extra fees may be incurred. Additionally, some companies set a minimum age for the vehicle driver, which in some cases is as high as 25, even in countries where the minimum legal age to hold a driver's license is much lower. Recent conditions have utilised GPS technology to limit maximum speeds http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404EFDD153EF932A15751C0A9649C8B63&n=Top%2fClassifieds%2fAutos%2fTopics%2fMotoring or driving to specific regions. Renewable fuel vehicles are available in certain areas.http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/may2006/2006-05-01-09.asp#anchor7

The vast majority of car rental companies require the use of a Credit card to make it easier for them to trace a person after they have stolen a car, or to charge additional fees at will if a defect is later found with the car.

There are two major types of car hire companies. The first group of companies own their own cars (known as a fleet) and may have agreements with car manufacturers to provide all the cars for that fleet. An example of this type of company would be Alamo or Europcar.

The other type of car hire company operate on a broker model and have commercial agreements with car hire companies to provide access to their fleets of cars.
