As with all services that you pay for you need to be sure that you are not overcharged for anything after you receive your bill. This means that when you’re in a hotel room you need to make sure you’re not charged for a movie or room service that you didn’t order. While this is understood by most people they tend to not think about it when they rent a car.
Car rental companies can often have charges that were not disclosed in writing or verbally before they were added to your bill. These charges should never be paid unless they are fully understood. The number one charge that is found on a bill that most people don’t understand is the insurance charge. This charge is from the insurance that you purchased (at a high daily premium) when you took possession of the vehicle. If you had to use any service from the insurance, including roadside assistance, you may be subjected to other charges.
In other cases, many people enter into a rental contract with the company that has a set limit on the amount of miles that they can travel in the vehicle. When these people go over their mileage limitations, which may or may not have been explained to them properly, they will incur a charge that varies from company to company but is accumulated by the mile.
Finally, there are repair charges. When you rent a car you’re given the option to purchase a higher amount of insurance. If you do this then you are covered from other’s mistakes as well as your own. On the other hand, if you don’t purchase the coverage you will be stuck with any repairs that are deemed to be your fault.
