Things you should take care of before hiring a rental car

Visiting a foreign land is fun, experience and memory. All three of them are factors to some important things like vacation hotel booking and car rental booking. Have any one messed up, and your entire holiday is definite to go for a toss. Your vacation would typically not be more than a week long, and as such if your rental car does not show up on time, or is you have to stay at the rental company's counter, getting after-shocks of some untold term and conditions, you would better spend your vacation in sweet solitude. Given below is a list of such 'not to be ignored' things about Cayman Car Rental Companies that you are simply not allowed to forget.


  • Before jumping on the goodness of any car rental company, based on what the company customer care executive told you, read word by word through the terms and conditions and the offer pamphlets. It would really pay off in case there is some stupid occurrence in the future.
  • Most Cayman Car Rental Companies would have their wagons displayed on their websites. So when you choose a car, you know exactly how much it can accommodate. However, on reaching the destination, car sizes getting altered due to an unavailability of the variety that you had chosen, is not much of a rare incident. Be prepared for any such surprise and plan back-ups accordingly.
  • Do not hesitate to buy that extra rental car insurance that your rental company wants you to take. Though on the face, it might seem unreasonable to spend considerable bucks more for buying an insurance, when you already have a car insurance covering you. But in most cases, your car insurance would not be covering accidents that your rental car would face. No that we are promoting the probability of accidents in Cayman,(talking realistically, accidents in Cayman are really rare), but staying prepared does not have a better alternative.
  • Know the rules and regulations well in advance. That would include the time period for which you are hiring the rental company and what would happen if you keep the car with you even fifteen minutes extra. What would be the consequence if you decide to ask the rental company to collect the car from some 'not pre-determined' destination? Will they charge extra out of you for that? Many of them get into such detailed strictness in money deals while others are more lenient. Know about what your rental company would be like.
  • Last but not at all the least, make it a point to ask your Cayman Car Rental Company for any discount offer that is applicable to you at present. Take complete advantage of any promotional offer that is going on. An additional suggestion, check you car for marks, scratches and huddly handles before you jump into it. If these are noticed after you have returned it, you would be charged for all these damages. Stay aware.



A happy and pleasant Cayman vacation to you and your loved ones! Stay informed, stay safe.
