Want a Better Rental Car Experience? Try Local!

Rental car agencies are a great resource for a variety of situations that we often face. For instance, say that your parents or in-laws are visiting for the weekend. Instead of cramming several people into your car you can simply rent an SUV. Or perhaps you are moving and are looking for something more economically viable than the average moving service. Rental agencies can often provide large cargo vans or utility trucks that are far more maneuverable and less unwieldy than large trailers and for a fraction of the price as well. Rental car agencies could be useful for hauling in that new refrigerator or washer and dryer set that you just purchased. They can even be used for a little fun, especially during vacations or road trips where your normal vehicle may not have the carrying capacity for everything that you need.
Rental car agencies can also be useful to businesses and other organizations are well. Say you are meeting a client at the airport, arriving in a nice luxury vehicle can project a better business image that arriving in you 2003 Honda Accord. Or perhaps you have to chauffeur clients around town for an evening out. Even nonprofit organizations can find it better to rent vehicles, such as churches traveling for mission trips or youth functions. Or perhaps you are planning an event within your business or community and need vehicles to get everything set up.
There is no doubt that rental cars can be an indispensable tool for both companies and individuals in a wide range of circumstances and when thinking of places to obtain them one’s mind often goes to the large national chains widely featured in media and on the web. But the fact of the matter is that large rental chains often lack the personal commitment to personal service than a locally owned company that consist of your neighbors or fellow church-goers. It’s not that the cars offered by national chains are of inferior quality or that the offers that they can provide are not valuable, but it simply comes down to service. Local merchants of all arenas can often provide a more personable experience than large national or transnational companies and car rentals are no different.
In times past large chains offered benefits that the smaller rental stores couldn't, such as online booking. But the technology gap has narrowed and many locally owned stores have the same digital presence as larger chains allowing you to place a booking well in advance. They often offer the same vehicles are larger companies as well, considering that they are in direct competition with them. The only downsides are that they may be a little more out of the way than a national company and they may have limited drop off points for vehicles since they often don’t have multiple storefronts. But oftentimes they are well worth the hassle as their rates are significantly cheaper. The idea is simple, trade a portion of your time to save some of your hard earned money.
