Hey man, do you have any idea what place does 5 month long contracts. I am trying to hop ship drive and they say they only accept a rental if they do a 5 month contract. it just seems so odd. what company does this.
@@natestorm194 not really, it’s usually max around 30 days for rentals from traditional companies. Maybe try reaching out to someone that rents out cars directly?
@@DavidGTravels its goofy man. ill post part of the letter where they ask for 5 months. here is their response: Thanks so much for reaching out to be a CareDriver! We do allow any rental service or rental vehicles on the platform as long as you have the following documents: - Insurance document showing your first and last name as an insured driver. - Vehicle Registration - A agreement showing that you will have the vehicle for at least 5 month. Please let us know if you have any other questions! The HopSkipDrive Team
If you guys make hertz accounts online you can skip the counter in airports and then u don't have to speak to anyone you just walk into the car and the keys are already in the car other major companies also have that saves me loads of time on lomg lines
Great video!! Yeah companies are getting smarter by requiring residency and passport to match country of booking, not fun when I find a cheap rental with India vpn for us rental but then the fine print says must be India resident. Now we gotta find something new to compensate!
@@DavidGTravelsSo i am 20 and this is my first time reserving a rental ever and I am confused about the process for renting online. You basically pay now and then dont have to pay anything when you go to pick up the car? I know I will have to pay an extra fee because of my age and it says I have to do it when I pickup the car, but other then that there are no hidden fees and the milage will be unlimited?
Sometimes I do use VPN-based search strategies to find rental car deals, but this is very rarely useful and most of the best deals don’t need a VPN to be bookable. Have any success stories you’d like to share? By the way, I’ve been considering uploading a video showing the best VPN strategies for finding travel deals, and would love to hear if folks are interested.
If you use vpn make sure if your using credit card insurance it will cover also once in a while they will see you booked from out of country and ask you for proof that you were there...

Many companies offer skip-the-counter in various forms, but you usually won't be able to get the cheapest prices and use it.
I am Indian how I can do that??
@@Cricket_universe_indi think it only works in us and Canada but not sure just sighn up for hertz gold
Very pleased that I found your site, Great info! Cheers
Welcome aboard!
I found this very informational and helpful
Glad it was helpful, happy travels!
Also another hack if your 20 and want to rent without underage fee get aaa membership and book with hertz to have your underage fee waved
Great tip for younger renters - just keep in mind that you'll probably have to book direct to get this, which could be more expensive.

Absolutely!

I use that hack a lot, happy travels!

@@FiveMissilesIdeally not, but this will all be written out in the terms and conditions of your rental.
@@DavidGTravels ok, i will do my DD then. thank you!
If you get aaa membership it waves the underage fee with hertz and it only like 30$ a year@@FiveMissiles
Have you used a VPN to show that you are in a different location to save on car rentals?

How so get a car with no deposit.
You generally have to leave a deposit using a credit card. But you can try a local company, or a car share app.
