Summer’s around the corner (pun intended!)

Filed under: car hire, car rental, collecting a rental car — Tags: , , , , — fastcarhire @ 4:23 am

June is a couple of days away and the car rental business has moved up a gear (more puns).

This little blog post is to remind you to book your car rental now!

The reasons for booking (and paying for your rental to secure your vehicle) now are:

  1. There are lots of people booking vehicles now and you want to get the size of vehicle that suits your requirements
  2. Many depots end up renting out ALL of their vehicles so there might not be any vehicles available when you want to get your car

BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

Why use FASTCarhire?

Filed under: car hire — fastcarhire @ 6:04 am

This is a question many people consider before making a booking and below are a few reasons to use FASTCarhire rather than going directly to a car rental supplier:

  1. Rental suppliers give us better rates so that they don’t have to deal with the public directly
  2. If there is a problem with your car rental we deal directly with the supplier on your behalf
  3. If one supplier is sold out then we can try a different supplier for you saving you time
  4. We automatically create an account so that you can make changes to your booking if required
  5. We deal with both international suppliers and quality local suppliers giving you more choie

So, it’s simple: Use us We’re Good!

Delivery service available

Filed under: car hire — Tags: , , , — fastcarhire @ 6:41 am

At many locations we are able to offer you a delivery service. This means that you can fly into your destination, travel to your hotel and have your vehicle delivered there. No finding the rental company desk at the airport or waiting in a queue to collect your car!

Simply enter your hotel details and a mobile phone number when making your booking and the car rental agent will phone you when your vehicle is at your hotel. Easy as that!

Car Hire USA Know Your ABC LIS , EP and UMP Explained

Filed under: car hire — fastcarhire @ 9:47 am

Included LIS  Liability Insurance Supplement and UMP  Uninsured Motorist Protection (Also called EP Extended Protection).

In many countries it is required by law that the car insurance must indicate unlimited third party coverage. In the USA this is not the case. Each state establishes a minimum level of coverage required by law and this may be as low as US$5000.

LIS covers you for liability to the third parties or bodily injuries and property damage only (not rental vehicle) resulting from an auto accident in a rental vehicle, to the maximum total protection of US$1million. Under EP cover, your third party cover is  US$1million and also provides coverage up to US$1million to the driver and passengers in the rental vehicle against death or injury caused by the driver of another vehicle who is under insured, uninsured or who commits a hit and run offence (under – uninsured motorist protection – UMP).

Remember to book your rental car early!

Filed under: car hire — Tags: , , , — fastcarhire @ 6:02 am

There are a few holidays approaching and that means that car rental companies will be very busy. With the approach of Half-Term for schools, Halloween and Christmas be sure to book your rental car early especially if you require a vehicle that is higher than the ‘economy’ category.

 Car rental companies hold more economy cars than, for example, MPV’s so if you require an MPV you must book and pay for your vehicle early to ensure you get what you want.

With FASTCarhire you can make an enquiry and, if there’s enough time, we will reserve your vehicle without you having to make a payment. Check our website for more details.
