Smarter Car Renting

Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:

•  Book your reservation in advance. Rates can vary drastically, even for the same rental car in Asheville North Carolina. By booking your car early, you can avoid last minute rate increases. It can also help assure your desired vehicle-type will be available at high demand car rental locations.

•  Fear of the Unknown: Unfamiliar with the streets of Asheville? Consider adding a GPS navigation system to your rental. GPS provides turn-by-turn directions to a number of Asheville attractions and businesses, and is offered by almost all Asheville car rental agencies. The GPS helps you navigate like some mythical Greek God of Navigation! You can also add your own portable GPS on your handy windshield sucker, but remember to take it all with you when you turn in the car at the end of your trip.

•  Many States, One Car: If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in Asheville, North Carolina to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!
