  IIf you are thinking about how to save some money, select the pick-up time alike drop-off time. Every car rental service takes money for a full day of rental, so when you take a vehicle for 25 hours, you have to pay for 48 hours (2 full days) of rental, and 74 hours will cost you as 96 hours (4 full days).

• The first thing you should pay attention to when Renting a car in San Francisco Airport is which size of a vehicle you need. This decision depends on how many passengers are going to travel with you and, of course, the total amount of baggage. There are many different types and models of vehicles, so you will easily find an appropriate one. However, you should also know that each car has its conditionally assigned number of allowed suitcases. You don’t have to pay for every piece of baggage, but only one unit of hand luggage for every person is regarded as a handbag and doesn’t count. All other suitcases are considered as baggage and must fit the declared capacity of a vehicle. If you travel with more than 5 passengers, our San Francisco Airport car rental service advises you to hire 2 vehicles of the standard class instead of 1 multi-seater car. It will more likely reduce the total cost for your car rental San Francisco Airport contract and appear as a more convenient way of travel.
• The safety of your child is also an important issue. We pay much attention to this fact.

If you wish to save money, there is one specific option, which you should know about. Some plane tickets allow you to have a child seat in your baggage without a fee. It can save you money but will require additional hands. All the information related to this option can be obtained from your air service provider. One more handy option is to purchase such a seat at the supermarket on arrival. Do not neglect this important fact and you will not just protect your kid from danger but also will avoid quite hefty fines.
• If you plan to cross the border or to use a ferry during your car rental San Francisco Airport journey, pay close attention to the paragraph of the rental conditions associated with this option. Some rental companies allow their customers to travel across the board, while others accept only a ferry transit. You should know that not all of the offered vehicles arу available for such purposes. That’s why it is also very important to inform a car hire San Francisco Airport provider about your intentions before buying tickets for the ferry. The provider, in turn, will give you the information about the cars, which are allowed for this kind of travel.
• Money-saving tip. Our service advises you to check out the fuel policy of your car rental San Francisco Airport contract before signing it. There are various offers with various conditions related to this feature. Sometimes you can see a “pick-up full and return empty” option, which is not always beneficial. If you plan minimum driving or rent a car San Francisco Airport vehicle for just a couple of days, it can turn out that you don’t need a full tank of fuel.

By default, you’re usually obliged to leave a deposit for your rental contract. In most cases, a rental provider holds a necessary sum of money on your credit card until you return a car. This sum of money won’t be fully or partially refunded in case of an insured event. This deposit is also called the Excess Fee. More detailed information about this feature is clearly described in the FAQ about Excess Fee and Excess Fee Reduction). Read this paragraph carefully to see which options can reduce this fee. It is very important to see the actual amount of the required deposit for your car rental years old in San Francisco Airport deal. In some cases, you will meet low rental costs but will have to pay a high Excess Fee or vice versa.

• In order to get the best car rental in San Francisco Airport experience, you should also select a proper Residence Country in your request. This fact can influence the conditions of the offers you will receive. In some situations, you get higher or lower car rental in San Francisco Airport costs. In other cases, you can even get a refusal from some providers. Here is one of the common examples. The USA citizens usually get their offers without Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Third Party Liability Protection (TP). However, you can not hire an uninsured auto. So, if a customer will choose one of such offers and rent a car San Francisco Airport vehicle at mentioned terms not paying attention to the absence of insurance, he finally faces the requirement to pay extra money to purchase one.
