(Baonghean.vn) - Self-drive car rental services during the Lunar New Year have become a 'money-making' business for centers and business services. If this is your first time renting a self-drive car, you should refer to the following experiences to avoid being fooled.

Determine the purpose of the rental

Before renting a car, the renter should carefully consider his/her purpose to choose the appropriate service package and vehicle type. Some criteria to consider are: Where is the destination, how far is the journey, is the road easy or difficult, how many days will it take, how many people will be traveling... to choose a tourist car or a multi-purpose vehicle... Then, consult a few car rental places to choose a good and suitable car.

Book early

Once you have determined the purpose of renting a car, to ensure you can rent a car for the desired period of time at a reasonable price, the renter should find a number of reputable car rental locations before making a decision and should make a deposit in advance to ensure you have a car.

Calling and booking a car early is a necessary thing but very few people pay attention to it. If you do this, the renter will be more proactive in planning the vacation as well as saving a significant amount of money because the time to book a car has not yet increased the price.

Select car rental package

When choosing a car rental service package, the renter will choose the appropriate type of car by paying attention to whether the rental car will be charged by day or by km. If renting by day but with a limited km limit, pay attention to how much the car owner will charge for each additional km to avoid being overcharged later.Be careful with these things because it will minimize the trouble when you encounter a difficult landlord.

Check the outside

When receiving the car, you should check the car carefully because this is never redundant because if the customer lacks experience, they will have to pay "sky-high" fees. For example, if you only check the condition of the car's bodywork carelessly, when you get home, you may have to pay to repair a scratch that is covered by mud and has been there for a long time, at a high price.

Therefore, take the time to carefully examine scratches, rims, mirrors, headlights, taillights and write down the details in the agreement if you do not want to lose money. In addition, with some car models, you should also pay attention to spare tires and accessories such as tools, jacks, etc.

Interior Check

After checking the exterior, the renter must start the engine and check the speaker system, horn, reverse sensor... If one of the above devices does not work or works erratically, the lessor must be asked to confirm the condition of that device and sign the note section of the car rental contract.

Next, check the surface of all the seats in the car, the floor mats under the feet to see if there are any burned or torn areas. The renter should also not ignore other parts of the dashboard, the door handles inside the car, the electric window system... to see if they are still working properly.

For peace of mind before receiving the car, the renter should ask the lessor to take the car for a test drive to check the steering system, shock absorbers, and air conditioning.

Check the machine and mileage

This job is more difficult, especially for those with little experience, so to avoid problems and repairs on the way, renters can look at the registration plate to avoid renting a car that is too old.

In addition, the renter also needs to check the current mileage, fuel status, and it is best to take a test drive to check the engine, avoiding unnecessary repairs on the way.

Make a tight contract

When making a contract, you need to ask carefully and show in writing the service package you choose, whether it is renting a car by the day or by the number of kilometers. Before receiving the car, make a record to clearly and specifically determine the condition of the car.

When agreeing on a deposit, add a specific compensation clause from the car rental service provider in case they do not deliver the car according to the agreement regarding time, type of car, quality of car... This will help you avoid missing out on plans or "losing money" when receiving an old, shabby car.

Currently, there is no standard regulation for car rental, each rental place sets its own regulations and the disadvantage always belongs to the lessee. Therefore, the lessee must always be careful in the procedures.

Check vehicle documents

The easiest thing to do but many people overlook is to check the vehicle registration and registration. In case of being pulled over by the police, if the vehicle registration and registration have expired, you will most likely be in big trouble.

Additionally, when negotiating a deposit, include a specific compensation clause from the rental company in case the car is not delivered on time to avoid missing out.
