Hourly or Daily Car Rental?
You want to rent a car for a few hours and the hourly rate seems reasonable. Before you click that button, take a few seconds and run some numbers to see if an hourly rental this time is really the better choice. Often, you can have the convenience of keeping a car for 24 hours for about the same as a 4-5 hour rental. The flexibility of having extra time, not worrying about another car being parked in the return space, and the savings that come with a longer rental can make the choice an easy one. No need to stress over traffic delaying your return and clicking your rental into an hourly charge. 
If you're renting on a daily basis from a non-airport location, your taxes and fees are much lower, saving you extra money as well. A compact promotional daily rate at Advance Car rental in Arlington, including all taxes and fees, totals $39.60 a day or $1.65 per hour. Plus you can upgrade to the vehicle class of your choice and drive away in a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV for only $98.99 a day or $4.13 per hour. The choice is yours. Sometimes an hour will do it, but the peace of mind that comes with an extended rental is priceless.

Hourly or Daily?
Which is a better value? Renting a car by the hour or for a day? Portions of hours count towards the next hour, so you really benefit by honestly looking at what time you will take the car and what time you'll have the doors locked and be completely finished. Oftentimes once you keep the car over 3 hours, it's better to pay the daily rate. Most car rental companies operate on a 24-hour time frame so picking up a car at 4:oo pm on a daily rate allows you keep it until 4:00 pm the next day. This often allows you to complete two or more sets of appointments or errands on the same rental. You'll get more bang for your buck and avoid running into extra hours if you're stuck in traffic or delayed getting back. Check us out & say hi! We love making new friends. www.AdvanceCarRental.comFriday, August 19, 2016

Why Your Own Auto Insurance Is Better
If you've ever rented a car, you were likely asked if you want to purchase the car rental agency's protection packages at the counter. Car rentals sell PDW, sometimes referred to as LDW or CDW, which is often represented as car rental insurance, but is slightly different. When you accept PDW (physical damage waiver), LDW (loss damage waiver) or CDW (collision damage waiver), you are purchasing a waiver that waives the car rental's right to collect damages that occurred to the rental vehicle while on rent to you provided you complied with terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It is not an insurance policy and it does not cover third party claims (personal injuries or damages to the other vehicle or another person's property like backing into a marble pillar at a building).
The requirement to comply with the terms and conditions of the rental vehicle is something worth thinking about. If you ran into a curb and damaged the tire and wheel, the waiver is usually void because the damaged occurred while you were driving recklessly. If you were at fault in an accident the waiver is usually void because the terms state that you drive in compliance with the law. This means that speeding, running red lights, pulling in front of someone are all reasons to invalidate the waiver.
Third party coverages are available by purchasing the car rental company's SLI or Supplemental Liability Insurance, but it is just that, supplemental. In the event of a third party claim, where the other person needs to have their car repaired for example, the SLI package takes a back seat and your auto insurance becomes primary. The SLI only activates once your policy is exhausted.
If you own a car, and carry a full coverage auto policy on it, chances are that your auto policy automatically extends to rental cars as well, at no additional cost. When renting a car, you or the rental agent can call your insurance company to make sure you have a full coverage policy that is transferable to a rental vehicle to give you peace of mind and save you money at the rental counter.
Many credit card companies also provide car rental coverage, but it's a great idea to check with them before renting. Each card is different and there are some exclusions to be aware of. Most foreign issued cards do not provide coverage for vehicles rented in the U.S. Most U.S. issued cards do not provide coverage for vehicles taken into Canada or Mexico. An increasing number of credit card coverage programs restrict the type of vehicle you can rent, with 12/15 passenger vans, large 6 seater SUVs, exotic vehicles, and luxury vehicles with a higher price tag topping the list. When calling the number on the back of your card, be sure to tell them the model of the vehicle you're renting and find out if they have a day limit. Some credit card companies cover for a maximum of a 30 day rental, some cover up to a 15 day rental.
Accepting or declining coverage at the rental counter is an important decision. You want the peace of mind that you are covered, but you don't want to pay for more than you should. And extra coverage doesn't always mean extra protection. Call your auto policy agent and credit card company before signing on the dotted line and know the facts. A good car rental agent will call for you and verify your coverages before printing the contract. Be knowledgeable, be smart and safe driving.

Fuel Efficient Beach Trip Cars
Headed to the beach the this weekend? Check out this handy list of vehicles ranked by fuel efficiency with the total number of gallons require to reach the beach.
Arlington, VA - Ocean City, MD = 147 miles
Fiat 500 40 mpg or 3.68 gallons
Mercedes CLA 38 mpg or 3.87 gallons
Chrysler 300 31 mpg or 4.74 gallons
Chevy Camaro 31 mpg or 4.74 gallons
Jeep Compass 30 mpg or 4.9 gallons
Jeep Grand Cherokee 30 mpg or 4.9 gallons
Dodge Grand Caravan 25 mpg or 5.88 gallons
Porsche Cayenne 24 mpg or 6.13 gallons
Chevy Suburban 23 mpg or 6.39 gallons
Vehicle size plays a starring role in the fuel consumption. And while it's true that larger, heavier vehicles burn more gas, they also carry more passengers which can be a huge plus for those family and friends trips the beach.
While the Fiat 500 achieves the best mileage, for a two-seat vehicle the amount of fuel needed per person is 1.84 gallons.
When you factor in the 6 passengers that the Chevy Suburban carries, the amount of fuel needed per person drops to only 1.07 gallons, making it a more attractive choice for a group.
Don't forget the FUN FACTOR value! There's nothing quite like the experience of driving a Porsche, regardless of the mpg.

Or call 703-528-8661 and ask for the Rent 3 days, get 4th day FREE promotion.
