Introduction of car rental price, matters needing attention, process and car rental platform in go on road trip.

Nowadays, many people always choose go on road trip when visiting a city. go on road trip can drive or rent a car. If you are going to rent a car at go on road trip, you have to do a lot of preparatory work, and the following small series will introduce it to you.

1. How to choose a car rental platform 1. Domestic car rental platform is preferred.

Renting a car is different from buying milk powder. However, an international car rental company like AVIS also has business in China, but when it comes to vehicle violations, insurance claims, maintenance and other aspects, it will inevitably be acclimatized. It is recommended to choose a domestic car rental platform.

2. Preferred B2C platform

Domestic car rental websites are divided into B2C and C2C. B2C: Business-to-individual. C2C: Person to person.

C2C car rental means that private car owners rent their idle cars for a short time. The advantage of this car rental method is that there are many models to choose from. Disadvantages are also obvious: the deposit is high, car owners generally put forward various restrictions on car use, and the subsequent handling of accidents is prone to disputes.

Therefore, since they all cost money, it is better to choose a more secure B2C platform.

3. B2C platform with large scale, wide urban coverage and many direct stores is preferred.

First of all, there are relatively many large car rental platforms, and the maintenance of vehicles is also more professional.

The so-called direct store is the offline store opened by the platform itself, opposite the franchise store. There is a high probability that the management and operation of direct stores will be more standardized.

Generally speaking, there are several strong B2C platforms on the market. There are a lot of direct stores starting with Y, and there are also many models starting with S. In fact, the prices are not much different, so they will all engage in activities. And before the accident and car damage, the service provided was similar.

4. Order online in advance

It's no problem to rent a car in the store in the off-season.

However, if you are traveling by car in the peak season, it is still recommended to place an order online in advance to avoid the car-free situation when you rent a car temporarily at the store.

Second, how to choose the ideal model People who love to drive have their own dream cars. For example, my dream car is Mercedes-Benz G63AMG, which is super wild, but I can't afford it.

Often when renting a car, I will search for my dream car. But I can't find it every time.

To be honest, regardless of the rental price, not all situations are suitable for renting your dream car.

For example, when I returned the car, I saw an unrecognizable Maserati in the parking lot.

So I chatted with the staff, and the car inspector said, "There is a big brother who wants to rent the Sichuan-Tibet line, but he doesn't listen to any suggestions. As a result, something happened in Linzhi. There has always been a Maserati in our store, but now it's okay and it's scrapped directly. "

This story tells us that renting a car is the same as getting married. Besides choosing what you love, you should also choose the right one.

1. Decide where to drive and what car to choose.

Generally speaking, if you drive in the city or the road is high-speed, you can choose any car at will.

If you go to areas with complex terrain, changeable weather and unpredictable road conditions, it is recommended to choose a model that is more suitable for local driving.

Before, there was always an inspirational story on the Internet that Little Alto dared to go to Sichuan and Tibet. It looks very exciting.

Indeed, nothing is absolutely impossible if you want to. However, it is still recommended not to draw conclusions based on small probability events.

Take Sichuan and Tibet, where the road conditions are more complicated. Nowadays, many provincial roads and national roads are really well laid, and you can go forward in a small and exquisite Alto or Smart.

However, there are many earth-rock roads, Panshan roads and wading roads. The most common situations are: tying tires and supporting the bottom.

Catch up with the rain and snow, landslides, mudslides and falling rocks are only a moment. When the rainy and snowy days have passed, we have to hide from the dark ice and water to destroy the road.

Choosing the right car can at least reduce the accident rate objectively.

2. Car selection conditions in complex road conditions and remote areas

1, choose a car with a high chassis: when encountering dirt roads, a car with a low chassis is easy to support the bottom. At present, the ground clearance of urban SUVs is almost the same, so it is best to choose models above 15cm.

2, choose a common model: if it is broken, it is easy to maintain. Take finidi QX50 as an example. If the car breaks down halfway, not all repair shops dare to repair it, and not all places can provide suitable accessories immediately.

3. Try not to choose a car with 97 # gasoline: personal experience, in remote areas, not all gas stations along the way have 97 # gasoline.

4. Choose a car with a stable site when driving a mountain road: Some people say that a car with a long wheelbase will be more stable when cornering. In fact, my personal experience is that stability is related to the width of the car body and chassis, and the length of wheelbase does not play a decisive role.

Third, how to compare the price 1 in detail. ordinary type

First of all, the price of the same model will fluctuate to varying degrees in off-season, working days and weekends, peacetime and festivals. The daily rent of the common general model is not expensive either.

2. Off-road vehicles

At present, most platforms don't rent off-road vehicles, so you have to rent a car on an independent off-road vehicle website.

Off-road vehicles are expensive, after all, the performance of the car is there. Take Pajero as an example, the average daily rent is 700 to 800; There are many Toyota models, and the average price of Prado fluctuates around 800; Land Rover and herdsman also rent from 1000 per day. There is also a domestic four-wheel drive, which is cheaper. For example, the Great Wall Haval rents about 400 a day. You can choose according to your budget.

3. Off-site return fare

Different from the international car rental website, it realizes the networking of car pickup and return in physical stores between cities. At present, the domestic car rental platform can only connect vehicles from several physical stores in the same city at most. Therefore, if you choose to take it back from a different place, according to the distance between the two places, you will definitely have to pay a refund fee that looks scary.

For example, we used to drive. At the beginning, our planned route was to visit Sichuan and Yunnan, leave Chengdu and return the car in Kunming. As a result, the plane ticket was booked, and when I rented a car, I found that the round-trip fare in different places actually cost 5000 yuan! So I had to temporarily change it to self-driving in western Sichuan, and Chengdu took it back.

Later, I specially chatted with the staff of the car rental website and asked them how the sky-high return fare was calculated.

People say: Now that you are in a different place, it doesn't mean that the car you rented from Chengdu was returned in Kunming, and then someone rented it in Kunming and drove back to Chengdu. But to send someone from Chengdu to Kunming to drive the car back. Round-trip fare, high-speed fee, gas money, employee accommodation and business allowance all add up, which is basically 5000 yuan.

Step 4 deposit

The deposit includes vehicle deposit and violation deposit. The amount charged by each platform is different. Within two weeks after returning the car, there was no accident or violation, and the two money were automatically returned.

General cars are pre-authorized by credit cards, and now several major platforms support sesame credit without deposit.

5. Other expenses

1, service fee: I still don't understand what this fee is for. Different websites have different calculation methods. Some are combined with car rental fees, some charge tens of dollars, and some are packaged with insurance premiums.

2. Overtime car payment: if the time limit for returning the car is exceeded, it will be charged by the hour.

3. Designated model fee: Not all platforms provide designated model service, but platforms that generally provide this service will charge extra. That is to say, when you actually pick up the car, you may get a substitute car of the same group instead of the one you saw when you booked it online. If you want to drive a reserved car in Do not forget your initiative mind, you can pay an extra fee. Basically, it is to increase the daily rent 10-20 yuan.

Fourth, how to avoid the insurance black hole Before I wrote an article on how to choose auto insurance, some people diss said that insurance has no money. As for you writing an article. Indeed, the insurance premium certainly does not account for a large part of the car rental fee, but if you don't choose the right insurance, in case of an accident, you may have to spend several times as much as the car rental fee. So I'm still _ wordy.

At present, domestic car rental insurance is divided into the following categories:

1. Basic insurance premium

This fee was paid by renting a car. According to different models, the cost is different. The more expensive the car, the higher the basic insurance premium.

Specifically, it includes compulsory insurance, third party liability insurance, car damage insurance, burglary insurance and automobile glass insurance.

Car damage insurance has an absolute deductible, which is generally 1500. That is to say, in case of car damage, you have to pay for all the money except 1500 yuan and 1500 yuan.

In addition, there are restrictions on the amount of compensation for theft and rescue. Generally speaking, people who rent cars have to bear about 20% of the expenses themselves.

2. Excluding deductible insurance.

If you only buy basic insurance, the repair cost will be 2,000 yuan, including the absolute deductible 1500 yuan. After 2000- 1500 yuan, the insurance compensation will only be 500 yuan. You don't have to pay a penny if you buy it, no matter how much it costs to repair the car.

3. Third party liability supplementary insurance

Because all three basic insurances have compensation limits, drivers need to pay for the excess. Therefore, this third party liability supplementary insurance can be understood as an enhanced version of the basic insurance.

4. Passenger seat protection

There is a maximum amount of compensation for people on board. Of course, if everyone is insured for personal accident insurance in various situations, there is no need to buy this insurance when renting a car.

5. Special tips

Most car rental websites will package the above types of insurance for sale when you make an appointment.

They usually give some VIP names to those insurance packages, such as supreme, privilege, etc., and many of them will be mixed with some unnecessary insurance.

In order to avoid buying more and buying less, I suggest you discuss it in detail to see what kinds of insurance are included.

Personal experience, domestic self-driving, in addition to the basic premium, will buy every time, free of charge.

V. How to pick up the car 1. Necessary documents

Driver's license and ID card. Remember to ask the staff for the driving book when you pick up the car. Sometimes, these documents are needed when passing through checkpoints along the way.

2. Check the car carefully

Theoretically, the cars that the car rental platform gives you are all overhauled and maintained, and there will be no fatal problems.

1. Check the dashboard to see the mileage. If the mileage is too high, it is recommended to change trains!

2, check the body, obvious scratches should be confirmed with the staff on the spot, be sure to take pictures!

3, check the tire wear, serious wear, it is recommended to change the car!

4, check the air conditioner, wiper, lights, glass water, battery. .......

Anyway, don't bother. When problems are found, they must be solved on the spot. If you are not satisfied, you can negotiate to change trains. It is better to delay some time than to quarrel afterwards.

Sixth, how to solve the disaster on the road must first be optimistic, and always meet the rainbow after the storm.

1. Something is wrong.

First, call the customer service of the car rental platform.

Faults are generally divided into two types: those that affect driving and those that do not.

If it is a fault that does not affect driving, you bought deductible insurance and called the platform customer service. I suggest you make do with it. When returning the car, tell the car inspector to confirm whether there is deductible insurance, and then you can go directly.

If it is a fault that affects driving, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome to deal with it.

Car rental websites have their own maintenance outlets, but these outlets are few and most of them are located in popular tourist towns. If your car breaks down in a remote area, there is still a long way to go.

If the car can't run at all, call the platform customer service first, then wait for the trailer to rescue, arrive at the car rental platform maintenance point and repair the car.

If it is far from the maintenance point, for example, our car broke down in western Sichuan, call the platform. Their nearest maintenance point is in Kangding, hundreds of kilometers away. Then you have to pay for the maintenance yourself. In this case, we must find a car repair shop that can provide formal and true invoices. Before repairing the car, be sure to confirm the maintenance cost with the store, take pictures of the damaged part of the car, send the photos and expenses to the platform, and then repair it after they confirm. Don't ask me why I went to so much trouble. It's better than wrangling afterwards.

When returning the car, provide the car repair invoice and maintenance document to the car inspector, and it is best to make a copy of it yourself. The platform will confirm that there is no problem and will refund the prepaid fee to you.

2. An accident happened.

If a third party accident causes car damage or personal injury, be sure to call the police!

The process is: call the police, call the car rental platform, and provide written proof when the police issue an accident responsibility letter, repair the car, heal the wounds and return the car.

break the rule

Generally speaking, violations are taken by electronic eyes, and they are only known afterwards.

Theoretically, within 2 weeks after returning the car, if the car violates the rules, the car rental platform will send the violation record, deduction and fine amount to the customer. The deposit will be refunded when the user pays the fine. Every car rental website has different procedures for handling violations, so you should ask in advance when you pick up the car. Of course, it is best to abide by the rules. If you don't violate the rules, don't violate them.

4. Drive safely

Say the important thing three times: drive safely! Drive safely! Drive safely!

In Tibetan areas, please avoid any small animals, and you will lose money if you hit them; Don't honk the horn. If you are scared, you may have to pay for mental damage, little animal.

Look up at the tree in the falling rock area. Don't move when the tree is moving. This is the method taught by the old driver who runs Panshan Highway.

Where there is no signal, the navigation map is offline in advance.

At high altitude, people's reaction ability and cars are very high. There will be various situations such as insufficient power, no change in throttle speed, and sudden failure of brakes. It is best to observe the state of the vehicle at any time.
