14 Advantages of Rental Cars

11. Save Money at the Gas Pump

A big advantage of driving a rental car instead of one’s personal vehicle is that you can choose to rent a vehicle that gets significantly better gas mileage than your private vehicle. If you drive an older car or one that does not get good gas mileage, the cost savings can be significant if planning to use the rental vehicle to drive over a long distance. Whether you make the choice to rent a diesel-powered vehicle to maximize the mileage benefit out of your auto, or you decide to rent a hybrid, the rental agency will be able to help you find a vehicle to maximize the benefits you will see from the savings in fuel costs. Before signing up for the rental, ensure you confirm the make and model of vehicle that the agency will assign you so that you can make sure there is sufficient storage room for your luggage or other things you will need to have with you in the car during your trip.
