12 keys to a good deal on a rental car
The last time I traveled, I was able to get a good deal by comparing prices and having one company match—and finally better—another company’s offer. Renting a car infrequently is great for people who aren’t normally required to drive.
In my area, there is a company called ZipCar that allows you to own a time-share on a vehicle. You share a car with other members of the organization and reserve it for the time period you will need it in advance. This seems like it would a more cost-effective solution than renting if it weren’t for the monthly fee.
