How to Make Your Rental Experience a Positive One

Renting a van can be a stressful experience. You want to make sure you get a good deal on a safe, reliable vehicle. And, once you have it, you want to be sure to avoid any hidden fees or surprises. Here are a few tips from your friends at Carl’s Van Rentals to help make your rental experience a positive one.

Do Your Research Ahead of Time

There are a lot of different rental car companies out there. Spend some time researching different companies to find one that has good reviews and offers the type of vehicle you need at a price you can afford. Make sure you look at their specials, as some places, like Carl’s Van Rentals, offer discounts for seniors, military and veterans, and multi-driver renters.

Inspect the Vehicle before You Leave the Lot

Once you have the keys to your rental car, take a few minutes to inspect the vehicle before you leave our lot. Look for any damage and be sure that all the features are working properly. If you find anything that isn’t up to par, let us know right away so we can address the issue. Generally, this doesn’t happen because Carl’s Van Rentals takes great care of our vans, but some things do get missed, and we’ll always correct them right away!

Follow the Rules of the Road

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules of the road in the area where you’ll be driving your rental car. Pay attention to speed limits and be cautious when driving in unfamiliar territory. Remember, you’re responsible for any damages to the vehicle, so it’s better to err on the side of caution. Paying attention to the road is especially important when you’re traveling with family or larger groups, where it’s easy for drivers to get distracted.

Secure Your Rental Here

Spring Break is right around the corner for most, and Carl’s wants to make sure your trip to Orlando, FL, is an enjoyable one. So, use these tips to secure any one of our 12-passenger vans or minivans. For questions, call us at (407) 856-8868.
