A list of the most popular car hire companies and that of the best car hire companies will look very different so I wont give you a list. I will give you information on the kind of service that you should expect from a good rental agency and then you can use that information to pick one that you think meets these qualities.
A good rental agency will offer you a cover charge for periods that are longer than two days instead of the daily rates. The longer the period the lower the cover charge should become, that is when compared to the daily rate.
You might also want to know if the cars have any extra features that you are going to need. A good car rental agency will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. They should be available if you need them even if they might not be for free.
You should also find out about the terms and conditions of insurance in relation to extra drivers. Registering extra drivers means paying an extra fee, but since you are leasing the car for a long period extra drivers should be registered for free.
A good car hire agency should be able to arrange your other requirements as well. Basically take care of your flight and accomodation requirements as well. This will normally come at an extra cost to you of course. They should be able to tell you clearly the terms and conditions regarding your lease.
Most agencies will either not point out the penalties and conditions of breach of your contract. You need to be aware of them and their implications. Did I say I wouldn’t mention the popular ones I was just kidding? The most commonly used agencies in the country are Avis, RAV, Hertz and Budget. I suggest you check out one of the following for a good deal:
