Smarter Car Renting

Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:

•  Fear of the Unknown: Unfamiliar with the streets of Doral? Consider adding a GPS navigation system to your rental. GPS provides turn-by-turn directions to a number of Doral attractions and businesses, and is offered by almost all Doral car rental agencies. The GPS helps you navigate like some mythical Greek God of Navigation! You can also add your own portable GPS on your handy windshield sucker, but remember to take it all with you when you turn in the car at the end of your trip.

•  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 Doral 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 Doral, Florida 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!
