AVOID HIRING CARS FROM INDIVIDUALS

Many people are tempted to hire cars from unregistered car hire operators for many reasons,chief among them,the lower rates.Like old adage says 'cheap things are expensive',its very true.Most of these vehicles are not insured,if they are,it wont be a comprehensive insurance but 3rd party insurance,they are also not properly and regularly serviced.You will see the expensive side of cheap things when you are unfortunately involved in an accident.You will be made to foot the whole amount of replacing the vehicle.Registered operators,like Redcarpet Travel & Car Hire,offer our clients Collision Damage Insurance(CDI) which will cover you for the entire hire period.This will give you a peace of mind.This insurance will reduce your liability in-case of an accident.Its not expensive,it varies with the type of vehicle hired.Its worth it.Its not compulsory though but we encourage clients to take it.

 

Another disadvantage of hiring from individuals is that in case of a breakdown,you wont get any replacement vehicle,you will be stark on the road with no assistance.Unlike us,we will give you another equally good car to continue with your journey.We also have synergies with other excellent registered players across the country who can also assist to save on time. Individuals are also of no fixed aboard unlike registered operators,you know where to go in case of a challenge,not briefcase operators.

 

There are also cases where some people have hired out stolen vehicles and the renter ended up in jail for having a 'hot' property in their possession.

 

Individual operators also do have hidden costs as well,when you bring back the car,if you are so lucky that it lasts the period,you will then be told of some issues you were not told in the first place.You will be told that the vehicle incurred some scratches /damage whilst in your possession ,you will then have to part with some cash to sort out the 'damage'.We,at Redcarpet Travel & Car Hire,we do a vehicle check list together with the client on day of hire and on contract expiration,so there is no prejudice,a fair wear and tear is also accepted.

 

 

So next time you want to hire a car,don't be lured by fly by night car hire operators,get one from registered operators like Redcarpet Travel & Car Hire and have peace of mind,we know things are tight but they can be made tighter by being lured by "lower" rates.
