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 Salt Lake City? Consider adding a GPS navigation system to your rental. GPS provides turn-by-turn directions to a number of Salt Lake City attractions and businesses, and is offered by almost all Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City before arrival or verify in the rental policy and rules to see which forms of payment they accept.

•  Book your reservation in advance. Rates can vary drastically, even for the same rental car in Salt Lake City Utah. By booking your car early, you can avoid last minute rate increases. It can also help assure your desired vehicle-type will be available at high demand car rental locations.
