Car Rental Providers vs. Car Rental Brokers
If you’re taking a trip for business or pleasure, you might want to consider renting a car to make it easier to get around. Depending on where you’re headed, having a car can be a great asset to help you explore. So what is the best way to go about renting a car – a direct provider or a broker?
Car rental providers are independent companies that have a fleet of rental cars. You call them or go to their website to look at the available options they have during the time you’re planning to travel and then you book a car directly through their agency. However, rentals can sometimes get pricey when booked through an agent. Their prices and availability change throughout the year and you won’t find much flexibility on pricing.
Car rental brokers, on the other hand, partner with a number of different providers in order to offer discounted rates on rental cars. This means that instead of picking a specific provider to use, you supply the dates of your trip and the broker searches for the best deal from a variety of different providers. You can choose between a number of different options in order to increase your chances of getting a better price.
In addition to having discounted rates, you also get a wider selection of vehicles because you are choosing from so many different providers. Brokers offer a selection of cars from each one.
