Tips on Renting a Car

When you need to rent a car, you should consider more than just the price. Not all Bronx car rental deals are created equal. Keep in mind the adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Comparison Shop

We suggest that you look not only at the quoted price of the car rental, but also at the terms offered by the Bronx car rental company. Are you able to get the car size that you want? What some companies call an intermediate car can be a compact at a different rental car company. For example, at Allcar Rent-a-Car, our smallest car is an intermediate size car at another local rent a car company. That means that you'll pay more at that other rent a car company for the same size car. You should compare not only price, but also the type of the car associated with the quote you receive. Also keep in mind the deposit type used to secure the rental car. Do you own a credit card? How much do you have available on your credit card? Allcar Rent-a-Car will rent you a car using a debit card as a deposit, whereas other Bronx car rental companies will not accept debit cards.

Out-of-State Drivers

Before you head out to rent a car, make sure you have your driver's license with you. If your driver's license is from another state or another country, contact the rent a car company in advance to inquire about the license requirements. Not all rental car companies have the same policies and requirements when accepting driver's licenses from different states and countries. Allcar Rent-a-Car is one of the most flexible and accommodating Bronx car rental companies, and will accept renters with driver's licenses from states other than New York and driver's licenses from countries outside the United States. Please call and speak to an Allcar Rent-a-Car customer service agent or reservationist to explain your situation, and see how Allcar can provide you with a car.

Reserving in Advance

We suggest that you reserve your Bronx car rental in advance. At Allcar Rent-a-Car, you can reserve the car on our website or by calling any one of our many locations. With us, unless you are renting a 15-passenger van or minivan during the peak season, you do not need to leave a credit card number to reserve the rental car. Some rental car companies may require an advance deposit before they will reserve a car for you. While you can always just walk up to a rental counter to rent a car, why take the chance that no cars will be available or that the particular size of car you prefer is not available? What's more, when you reserve in advance, you may secure a better rate since rental car rates fluctuate and increase with increases in demand, such as during the summer season and Christmas and Easter time.

Finding a Convenient Location

Shop around for the location that is convenient for you. Some companies, such as Allcar Rent-a-Car, open their offices early and stay open late. Some offices are even open on weekends. Some Bronx car rental companies, however, are only open during the week and close by 6:00 pm, which may be before you end your day. Pick a car rental location that is near public transportation. If you rent with Allcar, we will send a driver to pick you up and bring you to the office to rent a car at no charge.

Compare Allcar Rent-a-Car and save. Should you find a lower price for the same car, please inform our staff, and we will gladly match or beat that price on a similar-sized car.
