Move to pre-paid car rental avoids final shock
Article Abstract:
Visitors to Florida are increasingly opting for pre-paid car rental to avoid being surprised by the unexpected hidden extra costs. Although many packages include free car hire, visitors are required to pay for taxes, insurance and LDW at the end of the rental period. Forecasts for 1996 are good, despite higher rental charges as a result of rising costs by car manufacturers. According to Angela Riley, international marketing director for Avis, Florida rates are better than those in Europe.
