Car rental is one of the offered services the use of which is nice for tourists and businessmen. Especially in Dubai.
However, we have so many companies that have ventured into providing this particular service. Keep reading and we will let you know how you can go about determining the right organization from those existing in the market.
Check Online Reviews and Ratings
Peculiarities of reviews and ratings indicate that it is useful to use them for checking the reliability of a business. One can read many customers’ reviews on the official websites (for instance, on Yelp) or from media resources.
Didn’t find anything?
It does happen and such things happen and so on and so forth. Even if it means a start-up or a relatively young company, which can be seen in this case. However, you can communicate with them (if everything is honest and open) since the chair’s workers located here will most likely want a very small amount of money.
In relation to ratings it strictly depends on this or that site. Owing to this, while sometimes 4/5 is being regarded as standard, then, at other times one may be advised to ignore companies that score below 4. 5/5.
That is true but again it depends with the platform in use.
Verify Licensing and Insurance
One should also inquire whether there is insurance and other additional services available for the consumers. Also that it has the right to operate that should be and it should be checked as well that it has the right not to. Every single thing should be crystal clear: indeed, if there remains any uncertainty in the mind, it is better to seek its removal elsewhere.
Compare Pricing and Terms
You don’t want to be charged highly for a product that can be obtained for the same quality in the market lowly.
Sure do.
On the other hand, the price must actually be within or slightly above the market price-range. If not, it could be regarded as fraud The actual qualitative findings entail the following analysis;
And it is also preferable to focus on the availability or otherwise of long-term rent discounts.
By the way, “rent cars“ offers quite competitive and pretty real prices. You can rent:
- Sport cars starting from140 AED/day;
- Premium sedans starting from 80 AED/day;
- SUVs starting from 60 AED/day.
And so on.
Ensure Transparent Rental Agreements
Not all rental companies build transparent relationships with their clients. In some (unscrupulous) organizations you may hear complicated and confusing answers to questions about rental conditions.
This is the first reason to be wary.
Besides, the very procedure of issuing and inspection of the car may be conducted with some tricks. For instance, when issuing the car the client may be offered not to note in the inspection report the presence of minor scratches on the coating. And when that same customer returns the vehicle, the company will charge him/her and seek compensation.
With the help of such a trick, several customers can be fined for the same damage in succession.
The hallmark of a proper, decent rental company is a thorough inspection of the car – both when you pick it up and when you return it.
And yes: don’t forget to look at what you sign. Fix absolutely everything and be meticulous – it’s useful here.
Seek Recommendations from Locals or Expats
Who better than a local to know where to rent a car?
In Dubai, everyone does it.
Chances are good that someone you know is driving around in a rental car just right now. Ask around and you’ll learn a lot of new things.
Confirm Customer Support and Assistance
Before you book a service, call the company (or email their manager) and have a little chat. Ask questions and see how they respond. If the employee is polite and happy to help you, then you will be valued and secured.
The employee is the face of the company. He should be aware of all the processes. In case he or she gets confused in explanations, it makes sense to contact another organization.
