How to spot a good deal

You don't have to break the bank to get a great rental ride! While you might want to put out more cash to rent a vehicle for something special, like a wedding or an afternoon spent cruising in your dream exotic car, your everyday rental doesn't have to be a big commitment.

• Size. You're going to pay more for a larger vehicle, but if you need the cargo or passenger space, it's an inevitable cost. If you're comparing prices, make sure the vehicles have similar space capacities so that no one gets left behind.
• Fuel economy. A great rental deal is only great if you can be sure of the total cost. Even if it doesn't cost much to rent the vehicle itself, if it costs a fortune to run it, you're not saving any money. In fact, you could end up spending a lot more than you expected if you don't look into fuel economy.

Price isn't the only thing you need to consider in a rental, but it certainly is one of the most important. Remember, a good deal isn't a good deal if you're not getting what you want - make sure you don't sacrifice your comfort and satisfaction to save a few dollars.
