There's nothing worse than going on a vacation and then realizing that no matter where you go and no matter what you do, you're stuck depending on the whims of others. That's what happens when you're forced to leave the car at home, and it can be frustrating. But what you can do is get your power back by hiring a car for your vacation or business trip, giving yourself the freedom you do at home and putting more of your destination's greatest treasures at your fingertips.
Here are 4 things to keep in mind when renting cars on holiday.

First of all, it's typically cheaper to plan ahead when renting an automobile. The worst thing you can do, especially in a popular tourist destination, is wait until you get there and pay the "fresh off the boat" price. And most businessmen, in any industry, like to fill the books well ahead of time, so they typically offer cheaper prices the farther ahead you plan in advance.
