A list of the most popular car hire companies and that of the best car hire companies will look very different so I wont give you a list. I will tell you what a good car hire agency should be able to do for you and then you can use that information to see whether any particular one meets those criteria.

If you are going to need the car for a period of more than two days then you should be able to get a company that should be able to offer you a cover charge for the period than the usual daily rates and charge per extra km. The longer the period the lower the cover charge should become, that is when compared to the daily rate.

You might also want to know if the cars have any extra features that you are going to need. A good car hire agency will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. They should be available if you need them even if they might not be for free.

You should also find out about the terms and conditions of insurance in relation to extra drivers. Registering extra drivers means paying an extra fee, but since you are leasing the car for a long period extra drivers should be registered for free.

A good car hire agency should as a matter of routine be able to set you up for the itinerary of your stay. Basically take care of your flight and accomodation requirements as well. Although this will mean you paying more money. A good agency will explan the conditions of your lease to you in detail.

I’m particularly referring to the penalty clauses that most agencies tend brush over or briefly mention. You need to be aware of them and their implications. Did I say I wouldn’t mention the popular ones I was just kidding? Hertz, Avis, Budget and RAV are just some of the more preferred car hire agencies in the country. If you want to access them and compare them all at once just look up any of these:
