Why Should you go for Car Rental?

Although the public transport networks in many major cities around the UK will suffice for short journeys around town, most of the time only having access to a car will do.

Whether you’re on holiday and need a car to get out and about and see the sights, or are on business and trying to reach a location not served by the rail network, a hire car is the best solution.
So what are some of the benefits of car rental?

Value/Cost

One of the main advantages of car rental is the great cost-efficiency that it can offer. With train fares consistently on the rise, and owning a car becoming more and more costly every year, long or short term car leasing or hire provides an ideal alternative.
All hire cars will be insured and taxed – two of the bigger and more frustrating costs of car ownership – with these included in the low rental price. Repairs and maintenance will also be taken care of by the rental company, meaning you never need worry about the cost of a broken headlight or faulty transmission.
Upgrading your car when it becomes outdated can be a pricey prospect, which is why hire cars once again prove the better option. With a car rental, the vehicle is never likely to be more than four years old, and long term leasers can trade in vehicles during the lease period for newer ones at little or no extra cost.

Freedom/Convenience

Hiring a car over taking the train or coach brings with it a host of freedoms – particularly when on holiday with friends or family. Not only will you not be dictated to by the local bus service timetable, you can also explore the hideaways that aren’t accessible by public transport.

Rental cars are great for taking things at your own pace, enjoying the stereo and taking your own scenic routes to your destination with total freedom. There’s no need to haul heavy bags on and off trains and coaches, and having a car on hand gives you somewhere to store supplies and coats when out and about.

Other Benefits

One of the other, more unusual benefits of hiring a car is the experience it gives you with a particular model. If you are thinking of buying a vehicle by a specific manufacturer, try ringing round a few car rental companies to see if they stock that particular model in their fleet.
If so, you can take the car on an extended two or three day test drive (or even longer) to really get a feel for how it operates and copes in certain conditions.
