Smarter Car Renting
Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:
• Car Types: When selecting a car type, remember it's not just about how cool you'll appear. The car selection page details show an average of how many people and how many pieces of luggage can comfortably fit in each car type. Pay attention to the specifics to be certain they meet your needs before booking.
• Credit Cards for Pick-Up: Many agencies require a credit card upon pick-up. Yes, Opie, we live in that kind of world. So make sure you are in good standing with your "plastic." Call the car rental agency in San Mateo before arrival or verify in the rental policy and rules to see which forms of payment they accept.
• Many States, One Car: If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in San Mateo, California to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!
