Renting a self-drive car during the Lunar New Year holiday is a popular solution for families who do not own a car. However, finding a car rental with reasonable prices and good car conditions is not an easy task.

Here are some important things to keep in mind when renting a self-drive car:

Determine your purpose:

Similar to other services and products, it is crucial to estimate the distance, time, terrain, and number of passengers before renting a self-drive car.

Once the purpose is determined, it will be easier to choose the right package and car model. A rental package based on distance is suitable for long-term rentals with limited mileage. On the other hand, a daily rental package without mileage restrictions is ideal for tourists who need to drive a lot.

Book in advance:

It is advisable to research and book your rental car early to be proactive with your plans and enjoy preferential rates before the Lunar New Year rush.

Prepare the necessary documents:

When renting a car, customers need to provide a valid driver’s license, identification card or passport, and collateral. The collateral can be in the form of cash or other valuable assets, depending on the rental company’s policies.

Check the vehicle’s paperwork:

It is essential to review the car’s registration, inspection, insurance, and validity before renting a self-drive car.

Inspect the vehicle:

Thoroughly examining the car is a critical step in the rental process. Pay close attention to the body, making note of any scratches or dents, and check the mirrors, headlights, etc., for any damage. It is also recommended to test drive the car to assess its performance. Be sure to check the current mileage and avoid renting very old or high-mileage cars to prevent mechanical issues.

Read the rental contract carefully:

After inspecting the car, carefully review the rental agreement. Look out for any restrictive clauses to prevent potential conflicts. The contract should clearly state the rental price, rental type, rental period, and any additional charges. To be safe, request a detailed report on the car’s current condition to use as a reference when returning the vehicle.

Returning the vehicle:

At the end of the rental period, thoroughly inspect the car again and confirm the final mileage with the rental company (if charged by mileage). The rental company will also perform a thorough inspection. In case of any disputes or requested compensation, remain calm and refer back to the contract and the initial inspection report to determine liability.
