Smarter Car Renting
Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:
• Damaged: Always carefully eyeball your vehicle before leaving the rental agency, whether you're in Des Moines or East Podunkville. The last renter may have pulled in after a meteor shower! Prior scratches, dents, and other vehicle damage can cause extra headaches and costs if not noted before you leave the rental car lot. If you see any damage on the car's exterior and interior before you leave, make sure it's noted on the rental car papers, and point it out to an agency employee. This will resolve any questions that could arise when you return. And avoid meteor showers.
• Special Requests: Special requests can be noted at the time you make your Des Moines rental car reservation. Nothing too crazy, though. If you are in need of an infant or toddler car seat, navigation system, ski rack or more, be sure to make note of it when booking online. Keep in mind that requests are not guaranteed and additional fees may apply.
• Credit Cards for Pick-Up: Many agencies require a credit card upon pick-up. Yes, Opie, we live in that kind of world. So make sure you are in good standing with your "plastic." Call the car rental agency in Des Moines before arrival or verify in the rental policy and rules to see which forms of payment they accept.
