  • News from our partners

Your travel budget can be much easier to maintain if you get yourself a great rent a car in Casablanca deal. Although many people would like to save money on car rental, most of them overlook some crucial steps that could actually save them money without realizing it.


There are a lot of reasons why you may keep getting unsatisfactory car rental deals. We're going to be exploring 3 of these reasons along with how to prevent them


1. Booking at the last minute: One of the main reasons people miss out on really good deals is the fact that they did not get prepared in time and failed to book ahead. Rental companies know that when you are in a rush, you are limited to only whatever options are available, and they usually take advantage of this. As a result, you would most likely have to deal with higher prices, a limited choice of 

vehicles and less room to negotiate. 


  • How to avoid this: To get the best deals, book your car  as early as possible. This can be weeks to a month in advance. Early bookings are rewarded with lower prices. Also, booking early allows you to monitor pricing rates. If you notice a drop in the rates after you have made your reservation, it is usually possible to cancel your reservation and book again at the new lower rate with no additional costs.


2. Renting from the wrong place: Your choice of rental company definitely goes a long way in determining the price you pay. Some travelers only look at heavily advertised big-name companies while forgetting to compare prices. Car rental in Morocco from reputable marketplaces such as OneClickDrive as they offer extremely competitive rates along with a diverse fleet of cars.

  • How to avoid it: Make sure to compare prices across multiple providers. Spread your research wings and avoid limiting yourself to just a couple of well-known brands and dig down deeper to get the lowest rates and excellent services. 


3. Renting from the airport: This is a very convenient option. However, convenience comes at a premium price, especially when it comes to renting a car at the airport. The airport rental location of a particular rental place is highly likely to be more expensive than that of other locations from the same company. This is due to surcharges which may include airport concession fees, facility charges and maybe even tourism taxes. These extra costs can make your rental much more expensive than renting from a location farther away from the airport. 


  • How to avoid it: Consider booking at a location that isn't the airport. If you have a liking for a specific rental company, they are likely to have other rental locations, hopefully not far from the airport itself. It may take a little more effort to get to these locations but the savings are usually worth it.

Conclusion 

Most of the best car rental deals come from being proactive and planning in advance. You're going to be able to lock into lower rates by booking early, and you can take your time to rebook if the prices happen to drop, which they very often do. You could also help avoid some extra costs by renting from a proper place, like off-airport locations or minor providers.
