Nice video dude

Very informative thx for sharing

BSP car Morocco customer service both French & English were incapable of doing there job properly just bunch of incompetent losers. Misleading adverting just lies. The lady from customer service mumbling. She just ain't do anything for me she just said they were working in the City of Rabat, Morocco herded like cattles there she said there is nothing she can do for me to get my car at the airport slack. BSP car corporation must change the whole staff & management there. What a shame!

No mention of how to find the best value

I reserved a car with BUDGET 5 BUSINESS days ahead of time. The day before I had to pick up the car, I called again just to be sure it was still available. They said that the car was ready and everything was fine. When I got to the agency to pick up the car, I was told that the car I reserved was not available. They upgraded me to a bigger car and told me that the price would remain the same. It was clear that i would not pay for the bigger car they gave me. No extra charge. I trusted them. I trusted their customer's service and staff. When I got my visa statement, iI realized that they charged me for the bigger car they gave. WHAT A SCAM!

I NEVER USED THEIR SERVICE AGAIN. I STRONLY SUGGEST THAT THE READERS WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

I’m doing my first rental tomorrow.

American Express will honor the rental car insurance coverage if you pay with reward points

Credit card insurance is actually a huge scam, they have tons of parameters you MUST follow for them to actually cover you and almost every time they will hold you liable for damages to the rental and you will end up having to file a liability claim.

American Express offers insurance coverage for free if you pay for the rental with your AMEX card. Google it and check the specific type of AMEX card that you have. You can download the specifics which is basically an insurance policy. It shows the coverages, conditions and exclusions. Be sure to download/print it and take it with you on the trip. Also be sure to carry your insurance card from your personal vehicle with you. I like to get a copy of the rental agreement in advance from the rental company and run it past my personal auto insurance carrier. Always ask them for a WRITTEN response as to what coverages you need to purchase or don't need to purchase! They will try to give you verbal opinions... Beware.

Hello everyone, random question : what would you have liked to see offered by a car rental ? besides car seats... are there stuff that you think car rental companies can offer that would make your vacation easier or more interesting ? ( gadgets, services ... ? )

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Asked for rent-a-car quote for a week compared to enterprise. Hertz is by far the worst customer service call I've been on in my entire life. Transferred to 4 different departments. Lied to by agents having a bad day. Swearing on the phone. Just a sad company.

I now work for Enterprise and I think these tips will improve your rental experience.

Good info!

you didn't mention about reading all the fine print on the car rental contract AND the fine print on the credit card used for payment . BUYER BEWARE ALWAYS.

Thanks vert useful

Great video will definitely be applying these tips when I rent a car!! Also, do you have a recommendation for rental car companies you prefer such as hertz, enterprise etc...?

Great video! People who watch this will be really well prepared!!

Nice channel 👍

If you want to use points, use the credit card associated with the points. Typically you are covered if you pay for the fees and taxes with the credit card associated with the points.

You look like Teddy from the Hanghover

The points thing isn't accurate in my experience. For Chase Sapphire this is the language they use:
"You are covered when Your name is embossed on an eligible card
issued in the United States, and You use Your credit card Account
and/or rewards programs associated with Your Account to initiate
and complete Your entire car rental transaction. Only You, as the
primary renter of the vehicle, and any additional drivers permitted
by the Rental Car Agreement are covered."

So even though i have a credit card, does it matter of how much im charged for from it or how my credit score is??

Great, practical and very helpful video. Thank you so much my friend

How about those "EZ-pass" toll road transponders???

Could you use a debit card ?

What’s the best credit card for rental international?

Sweet! Thank you

Don't smoke in the car. That includes weed. The rental will charge you from $100 to $350 to clean the car. Detailing the car cost the rental company time and money. Car can't be rented. In car air filter change. Carpet seats , headliner need to be cleaned. Even when your return the car and the contract ends. They will still charge you. Don't try and hide damage you caused. You will still be charged if you try and hide damage. If you want to exchange your car during the rental period. Most companies will do this only if something is wrong with the car. Most new cars have a TPMS . That lets you know when a tire is low. If you want to exchange the car. Drive the car near the rental return place and remove air until TPMS sensor alerts a low tire. Then take it back and show the low tire pressure light. They will exchange the car due to the light. No one in the return area will question you,

👍 great tips thnx for sharing.

Take as much video and as many photos of the car as you can before driving it off the lot. And make sure you can show as many angles of the car as possible.

spent $90 on a one day rental (with the "autoshop discount") when my car had to go to the shop last month. the following week i found out about AAA's pricing and realized i could have got the same rental for about $30 a day. this is such important information! thank you for this video! learned a lot and about to watch the other two videos you recommended!

This would have been great three weeks ago

Thumbs up!! TFS

I’ve only rented once with Enterprise and it was smooth .. We rented the car from Austin Texas to Colorado and it was a nice 2018 Camry ... I always carry extra batteries for my cell phone , water , some food . I took pictures of the car and mileage and recorded what the car looked like before hitting the road .

I think a first aid kit is very important. Not only for the car, but for traveling in general. I keep a few bandaids, neosporn , antiseptic wipes, a razor with the handle cut in half to remove hair for better bandaid adhesion , and tweezers in a small tin. A small roll of toilet paper is also good policy to keep with you in general.

I found out about the Hertz AAA Young Driver Fee waiver and it’s saved me so much money. It’s usually a win-win since AAA typically has the lowest daily rate also. Being a car buff helps, but I usually tell people to do a little research before picking a car. For example when grabbing an economy or compact, the Nissans typically have more cargo room than other options. I also look at tires.. you won’t believe how many cars have mix matched tires with different brands on the front and rear.

I'm a fast break member with budget I never had any problems with them until 1 day I return the car a day ahead and instead of getting refund I got charge 25 dollars more. Which carrental company do you recommend? I never rented a car with no other company I was thinking Hertz because I have aaa but is way more expensive then budget.

Thanks so much for this. I just burned some chase points for a rental and I'll be cancelling that. Didn't think of the car insurance copy either.

Thanks for the video I'll be renting a car Thursday.

So when I go to Mexico they tell me third party liability is mandatory to every car agency that I go to. Do you know if that is true?

Just double checked with Chase. If you use UR Points, make sure the card* is on file when you rent the car. Should be good to go.
