When searching for a car for rent Dubai, you will come across various enticing deals and cheap prices. However, if something looks too good to be true then it probably is. We all make mistakes and it is okay. However, some errors can result in the loss of hard-earned money. Hence, it is crucial to read up beforehand and avoid the following mistakes:
Not Checking the Conditions of the Car
Make sure to check the conditions of your car thoroughly before you sign the rental agreement. Read carefully through the agreement as well. The right companies will be extremely transparent about their policies and prices. If there are any hidden costs, then you might want to ask the company expert regarding the same. Never hesitate to ask for an explanation.
Not Taking Your Credit Card with You
You will need a credit card in the name of the person who will primarily be responsible for driving the car around. They should be present with the card at the time of collecting the vehicle. The card is also needed for ensuring that there is no crediting risk and that the vehicle will be returned to the company safely. The company will keep the money till the car is returned safely to them. Once you return the car, the company will check if the car is returned in the same condition as it was rented out and then you will receive the deposit back.
Not Carrying Documentation
This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make when trying to rent a car. If you don’t carry the right documentation, then you will not able to collect your car. Ideally, you will need a valid driver’s license, and your passport for identification, and some rental companies also need proof of address. You can ask your rental company or check their website to figure out which documentation is needed.
Accepting Unnecessary Extras
This is another mistake that first-timers can make. There are many unneeded extras that the rental company would want you to purchase. However, other than insurances you can pretty much deny everything else. Especially if you think that you won’t be needing it but are only doing it to please the salesman.
Conclusion
Another mistake that you might end up making is not checking the pick-up and drop-off timings beforehand. If you drop off the car at a later time than scheduled, then you may have to pay extra. So whether you take a Nissan, Mercedes, or BMW SUV rental just make sure that you drop it off timely.
