Car rentals are an essential part of many business and pleasure travelers’ lives. If you are staying in a location away from home for more than a day and you need to get around, then hiring a car is a cheaper option than using taxis, especially if you are quite confident of driving in traffic. However, there is a trade-off with some companies.
