What should I pay attention to when renting a car?

1. To choose a company, you must first choose a professional and large-scale car rental company. There are many cars in professional companies to ensure that the car breaks down and rescue the car. Please don't rent (borrow) a private car, let alone rent a car in an underground car rental agency or a second-hand car dealership. Private cars often do not buy enough insurance, and once an accident occurs, the loss is very large. Even if the car rental price is low, there are few cars in underground car rental agencies and second-hand car dealers, and the operation is not standardized.

2. Pre-preparation: Go to the car rental company to see and inspect the car in advance, and read the car rental instructions and the car rental contract carefully. In particular, we should know the types and amount of insurance.

3. Fixed use: choose the car according to the purpose of travel and the distance of the road. To do important things, hold important kilometers, or walk at night, you must choose a good car and a new car. Never choose an "apart" old car with poor power, an accident car (referring to a car that has had a serious collision or rollover) or an old car that runs long distances. Accident cars often have such problems. There is no need to be too strict in choosing a car in the city, but if there is something wrong with the car, the happy mood will be destroyed and sometimes important activities will be missed. Try to choose a good car if you have one.

4. Look at the service: car rental contracts are generally standard contracts. Some car rental companies have very strict terms, requiring the lessee to bear all responsibilities and deduct all deposits in one fell swoop. Some companies charge for working overtime for several minutes and kilometers, so it is better for such companies to stay away.

5. Look at the equipment: choose a car rental company with complete safety equipment. Safety equipment for long-distance or night travel is the guarantee of escort. Spare tire, jack, fault sign, reflective vest, flashlight, spare cooling water, umbrella and raincoat are indispensable.

6. Procedures: If it is a local account, the procedures for renting a car are relatively simple. You only need to provide the original ID card, driver's license and household registration book, sign a lease contract, and generally pay a deposit of 1 10,000 yuan. If it is a foreign account, it will be in trouble. In addition to providing your own ID card and original driver's license, you must also provide an economic mortgage not less than the rental value. That's not enough. You also need a local resident guarantee and an ID card of the guarantor. The original driver's license and household registration book should also be provided together. If you are a compatriot from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan or a foreigner, you must provide the original Home Visit Permit or your passport, foreigner's residence permit and China driver's license, and you also need local residents as a guarantee.

7. car selection: understand the car rental procedures and then choose a car. Before choosing a car, I must first choose a reputable rental company. This is the premise. Then choose a car, van or off-road vehicle, depending on the route of the number of people traveling. However, most people have a basic requirement for choosing a car. Fuel-efficient, sturdy and passable cars are the most popular.

Anyone who can drive knows that the heavier the car, the more fuel-efficient, so the car with aluminum alloy wheels is fuel-efficient, suitable for high-speed driving, good ride comfort and can absorb the vibration and noise in motion. Cars with radial tires are also more fuel-efficient and wear-resistant. An automatic car is more convenient. The automatic gear is equipped with an automatic control device, which can automatically adjust the gear according to the vehicle speed during driving, eliminating the need to shift gears and step on the clutch. However, because the power transmission of automatic transmission is realized by hydraulic pressure, it consumes more oil, especially when driving at low speed or parking in traffic jam.

8. Signing: After choosing a car, the next step is to sign a complete lease contract, just in case, there are some precautions that must be remembered when signing; First of all, we must understand the daily limit kilometers of vehicles and a standard after exceeding the limit. Generally, the daily mileage of mid-range cars should be within120km. Of course, some companies have no quantity limit.

In order to prevent the car from being returned in time, it is necessary to carefully understand the renewal rules and the charging standards for overtime lease, so as to avoid any objection with the leasing company afterwards.

Only by carefully understanding the commitment of the leasing company can we fully enjoy the due rights and interests. At the same time, if unreasonable points are found, they should be revised in time through consultation with the leasing company.

9. Vehicle inspection: The last process of signing the contract is to fill in the vehicle inspection form, which is the process for both parties to identify the vehicle condition and is very important. It's fun to travel. If the car doesn't play on the road and something goes wrong, don't worry, even your own safety can't be guaranteed. Just in August this year, a Mr. Han in Shenyang did not check carefully when renting a car. As a result, a family of seven almost lost their daughter's river and had a dispute with the car rental company afterwards. So be sure to check the car carefully when renting a car. What should you check? Very particular, you can't miss anything and you can't be sloppy.

I think safety is the most important thing. Brake, steering, lighting, etc., which directly affect driving safety, should be carefully checked. It is best to have a certain order when checking the car.

First, check the appearance. Check whether there are scratches on the car body, whether the lights are complete and whether the locks are normal. Fill in carefully to prevent unnecessary disputes.

Then open the hood and check the status of main components such as fuel, refrigerant, lubricating oil, brake fluid, battery and transmission system.

After everything is normal, you can enter the cab and check the working conditions of the fuel gauge, brakes and air conditioner.

Finally, be sure to remind everyone to test drive. First of all, adjust the position of the driver's seat that suits you and sit comfortably. Test drive is to familiarize yourself with and check the working conditions of clutch, throttle, brake and engine, and also to familiarize yourself with the functions and positions of various instruments and operating components as soon as possible to prevent confusion in driving.

The procedure is up to you. Some people think that if you don't own this car in any case, you will often bring trouble to yourself and make you feel less happy when driving crazily. I hope that the majority of car rental customers will read it carefully.

Tips: For the happiness of you and your family, please drive safely and don't drink and drive.
