You’ve probably heard the saying that time is money. And nothing is more valuable than your own time. So if you are looking to save money but need to spend hours doing it, are you really saving money at all?

How saving time can also save you money

If you had an unlimited amount of free time, you could check all the rental car prices by going to the websites for Hertz, Alamo, Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, National and all the rest. And after hours of research, and possibly a headache from staring at the computer screen for too long, you would probably get a pretty good deal. Or you could do it the quick and easy way and check out a site like Easyrentcars, where all you need to do is enter in the dates for your rental and then take your pick from the best rental car rates available.

One of the benefits of renting a car in Orlando is that there is some fierce competition among the rental car companies for your business and there are plenty of big discounts and specials to be had. It’s very easy to change or cancel an Orlando rental car reservation, so once you book a good rate make sure you check back from time to time to see if a better rate is available and then you can change your reservation.

A couple hours can make a big difference

Another way to save money is to pay close attention to the daily and hourly rental car rates. For example, if you pick the car up on Friday at noon and return it on Sunday at 3 p.m., then you are mostly likely going to be paying for three days even though you really only had it for two days plus a few hours. One way to avoid this is to plan to have a meal at the airport – if you have lunch after you land and shop for a few souvenirs before getting your rental car, then you could save an entire day’s rental fee.

There are a lot of things to spend money on in Florida, so the more money you save on a rental car the more money you’ll have available for fun. Check out Rent A Car Now and find the Orlando rental car best deal possible.
