The search for car rental services had an increase
of 50% in the last 12 months, here in Turkey. Consequently, doubts about how to
rent a car have increased among people who want to take advantage of this type
of service.
With this in mind, we made a selection with the
main issues to be highlighted when renting a car. Know more!
1. What are
the requirements for renting cars?
Obligatorily, Istanbul
private car transfer, you will need:
·
National driving license;
·
CPF;
·
Credit card.
In addition to these mandatory requirements, many
car rental companies require the contractor to be at least 10 years old.
Another common condition in car rental is that the contractor has had a
driver's license for at least 2 years – all requirements vary by company.
About the credit card: there are rental companies
that accept third-party cards, but determine specific rules for this.
2. How are
daily rates calculated?
When renting a car, the user will pay for daily
rates equivalent to the period in which they have the car, and each day lasts
24 hours - that is, when removing the car at 10 am, it must be returned at 10
am on the day scheduled for the delivery.
The hours may vary, but it is not recommended, for
example, to withdraw at noon and return at 2 pm the following day – in these
cases, the two extra hours will be counted in the total amount.
The car rental price also includes the rental
company's service fees and may vary depending on certain factors such as:
·
Mileage type – if controlled or free, see
further details below;
·
Type of insurance – each rental company offers
different options, you decide which is the best;
·
Optional – air conditioning, GPS, radio, DVD,
child seat, additional driver… These are just a few optional items that affect
the final price of car rental.
3. What is
the difference between free mileage and controlled mileage?
In the free km , it is possible to walk freely with
the rented vehicle, without worrying about paying for having to walk extra
kilometers when combined, since this value is included in the total daily rate.
In controlled km , you will pay for the daily rate
+ an amount for each km driven. Mileage is generally limited to contracts
longer than 20 days or monthly car rental. And then, there is a deductible
(4,500 km for example) and if you exceed this limit, you will have to pay for
excess km (average of R$0.30).
4. What
forms of payment do you accept?
Most rental companies only accept credit card as a
form of payment. However, it is possible to find companies that require credit
card only for the lock/deposit, and accept debit card and cash for payment.
5. Is it
necessary to return the vehicle with a full tank?
It's not a must. However, rental companies deliver
the car with a full tank and usually charge whoever returns the empty tank . In
this case, a fee for the service is applied, as well as the price to fill the
tank – the price is fixed and usually above what the gas stations charge.
6. Can
anyone drive a rental car?
No, only the owner of the lease and people
indicated by him, during the contracting of the service, can drive the car.
This information will be registered in the vehicle
rental contract, and the documents required for other drivers, if any, are the
same for hiring the service: driver's license and credit card.
7. What to
do in case of fines?
Usually, the lessor is notified and then passes on
the fine to the lessee. Payment is deducted directly from the driver's credit
card. Likewise, points are recorded on your qualification.
However, an administrative fee may be charged by
the car rental company. Pay attention to the terms and conditions stipulated in
the contract.
8. How does
rental car insurance work?
Usually, car rental contracts already include CDW
(cover that exempts the driver in case of accidents) and protection against
theft. These specifications are also detailed in the contract.
You can also choose to hire personal protection
(both for the driver and for other occupants of the vehicle), as well as
protection for objects left in the car, vehicle accessories, road protection,
assistance in case of accidents, etc.
As renting a car also involves some risks, check
out the available insurance options . The choice will interfere with the final
daily rate, but your safety is more important, don't forget
9. What
happens if there is an accident?
We don't want to get involved in accidents, but it
can happen, right? In this case, the ideal is to immediately call the rental
company's 24-hour assistance (have the number saved on your cell phone!).
Register a police report and give a copy to the company responsible for the
car.
Many companies may charge the insurance deductible.
As conditions vary a lot, be aware of the contract.
10. How to get an International Driver's License?
Just look for the (State Department of Traffic) or
(Regional Traffic Circumscription) in your region and find out about the places
authorized to issue the International Driver's License.
11. The rental
car was stolen, how to proceed?
Procedures may vary depending on the type of
insurance contracted, but the first steps follow the same logic: before
registering the incident at the nearest police station, the driver must contact
the rental company and report the accident.
Then, with the police report in hand, a period of
48 hours is stipulated to go to a rental agency and fill out the Claim Notice,
as well as return the car keys and documents.
12. How much
does it cost to rent a car?
In item 2, we talked about how daily rates are
calculated. However, in addition to the values embedded in the tariff for the
service itself, other factors influence the price of a vehicle rental:
·
Lease period – on holidays, the daily rate can
increase by more than 100%;
·

greater, it can be more expensive than in smaller
cities.
