You're welcome. Italy can be fun. A few years ago I spent a month in Sicily and some of the roads in in Palermo are really narrow where a full size truck physically could not fit. Just take your time and everything will be OK. 🙂
I did "pay now" at Boston Logan Airport...guy told me I had to pay like another $200 which would've been the "pay later" cost. 😡 won't do again because now I don't trust them. Also, they NEVER check your car before or after. They just say pick a car before, leave your car after. Seriously.
I rarely find car rentals video like this that is absolutely helpful! 😃 Thanks a lot for the awesome recommendation as to where to rent a vehicle abroad. Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍👍👍
@@JerryRomineStocks if a company pulls a scam like this on you and you use a credit card. Contact the bank afterwards and cancel all payments to them. I think it costs about 20$ bucks and starts an investigation that will reimburse you after they side with you. Just say the company is a scammer and does honor their contracts. They will be barred from the credit card system for life. Like the company the owners and possibly some of the employees. The banking system for all its faults does not like scammers and theirs
Zipcar used to be $5 when I first signed up it was great now it’s triple price. If you sign up as a student it’s a little cheaper but it’s rarely available
Love all the tips and suggestions! I'll give them a try on my next rental. However, I must note I didn't have a good experience myself with economybookings. Keep up the good work!
I've tried your advice on getting a mini van, the best I can do is $65/day over 5 days.. Using Kayak their price was the best out of all the sites including the ones you mention. Most are listing minivans for $125/day. Back in at the end of March 2020 I was able to rent one for $34/day but really it was $44 for 24hrs after fees and taxes from Enterprise. I booked maybe a day or two ahead at that time.. I don't ever remember rental car prices this high before. Did the rental car companies sell all their cars and slim down inventory, and now suddenly people are renting cars? I'm perplexed, this has thrown a wrench into the cost of purchasing a used item I need to pick up that's far away..
Economy booking sucks in the Boise Idaho area. Still a very useful and informative video especially in terms of the value of using a third party booking agency
Car conditions have all been OK to good. Key thing is to take pictures and video of car condition and get everything documented in writing when you take the car.
very important , brilliant video. I have been bitten once, but luckily had taken video and was able to show salesman the scratch was already there when I got the car. still they charged me for a missing wheel cap( a lot more than what a wheel cap cost)
Would be great if he updated the video. I tried all his tricks and could not get better than $20 USD/day. I still like using the sites he suggested, but there are some things he didn't cover in terms of tricks they use. Some of the best deals were for electric vehicles...Since I am not familiar with Europe, there is no way for me to know how easy it is to charge where I am traveling, and how much that would cost me compared to diesel or petrol. Another trick the sites tried was giving me a great deal on a van!!! I don't want a van that I will not be able to park because it is unwieldy, not to mention how much more I would pay for petrol! However, if I wanted a mini or compact it was going to be double the price. - Anyone out there know if there is a more current video on this topic? - Thank you!
Great video, but what am I doing wrong? I cannot find any car in Paris for under $61/day. I have AAA, AARP, etc. and those sites you mentioned are not showing anything under that rate. Suggestions?
Great Video :D helped me a lot with my reservations and to be honest i didnt had so bad expierience so far with car rental company even tho Im ready for future -thanks to You really appreciate this :D
Looking at renting a car and I have been given several options. The cheapest one is for Goldcar (which I learned from your video would be a bad option!) vs $20 more for Budget. Do you give a listing on another video of best/worst rated companies, so when given a choice between paying $20 more for a better rated company vs taking the cheaper lousy rated company your viewers will have an idea of which way to go? - Thank you!
As a generalization I would avoid the scammy companies because they are not worth the trouble or risk. However, if you do go with these companies you can limit your risk by following what I cover in this video, documenting the damage to the vehicle (photos & video), and paying with a credit card that offers built-in Auto Rental Coverage. The key is documenting everything with a paper trail. Basically the scammer companies are looking for easy victims and when they see that is not you they will normally move on for any easier mark.
Buggy is a TLC Car Rental Company. If you have a TLC License and you are looking to drive for Uber, Lyft or other taxi/cab services, Buggy is just for you!
Do people buy Collision Damage Waiver from 3rd party like Allianz like $10 per day? Seems to be much cheaper than ins from car rental counter? My personal car insurance covers full except loss of use. After doing some check on my Costco Anywhere Visa card , it should cover car rental and don't have to get CDW(have to decline it at rental car counter or at booking). We will be in Toronto to rent care there from Alamo. Price is really high now.
That doesn't sound right. Did you have insurance from your credit card? If your credit card has the car rental coverage you should be able to rent. You can always book it online and then decline the OPTIONAL coverages at pickup.
@@JerryRomineStocks i had credit card coverage too. So what I'm saying is, theres no law in Florida that you can't use your own car insurance or your credit card. But theres no law, forcing car rental places to not gouge the customer. They can insist you buy coverages just so they can make more money and otherwise will not rent to you. They simply will say you can not have the car from us. Even of you prepaid. Again I had this happen this week at 3 car places in Orlando. I've been renting cars 6 months a year non stop in usa for 10 years with no problems till this week but this is my 1st orlando rental sice covid. They all became scammed when hertz mostly went out of business
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I’m planning our first trip to Faro, Portugal and never rented a car in Europe before, the insurance part is very confusing. My capital one venture card says you have to decline the car rental company’s insurance in order to use what the card offers, which seems to be only CDW. On economybookings there is no option to decline the insurance so what is my option? Also, do you think someone who hasn’t driven manual in years can get used to it fast enough to manage the Algarve or should we go with the more expensive automatic? Lastly, it says they require an international drivers license but on other websites it says US license is sufficient, what’s you opinion on this? Would really appreciate your advise. Thank you so much in advance!
1. The insurances are offered at the car rentals and this is where I decline them. They do it this way because they want to advertise the lowest price possible then pressure you into getting insurance you do not need. 2. You can easily get an international drivers license from AAA. Quick and easy. Better safe then sorry. 3. I personally would go with a manual. If you could drive a manual before what makes you think you cannot now? Only you can answer this question but if it is really a big concern borrow a friends (or rent one) to see if you've still got it. The odds are you do! 😎
I'm planning to travel through Europe from Greece to Italy I'm dropping the car back to Greece so it is going to be around trip . I wonder if you have drove your car cross border in Europe if so could you please explain it to me because I cannot find a dealership or a website that can give me this information . A lot of them shows that we can drive the car through cross-border . But I know very well there is such a thing . I'm sure European people drive a rental car through through Europe . And please if there was anybody who have same situation please advise me .
I have taken rental cars through Europe but it was a few years back. I had no issues and just made sure it was allowed in the policy. The rental car agencies will tell you if it is or is not allowed. Then, make sure you double check with them that you have the correct paperwork.
I thought I was watching Johnny Knoxville's brother for a minute there. By the way, you can't rent a payless car at Detroit airport unless you are from another state or country. The only car rental comp locally that does this
QUESTION: How can a U.S. Car Insurance company cover my rental car in case of damages if I'm renting in Morocco? Any recommended companies to use (i.e. AARP). Please advise.
Thrifty car rental holds a $500 deposit for up to 7 days after you drop your rental car. If thsts all the extra funds you thought you had available upon the return you could go up to 7 days without any accessible funds. 🤔😖
Thanks for the video. Please could you clarify on insurance & why all rental cars in europe now demand a £900 deposit on your card even if you purchased insurance online at the time of your booking. Cheers
Always lost with the insurance for foreign country, my insurance do not cover abroad, I am confuse on what my travel credit card covers, the rental co always say that something is not cover….. what is the truth?
I found out the same thing. I'm trying to rent out of MSP and return the car to MSP after two weeks and it's $41/day. The only way I can see how these "$7/day" car rental TH-cam videos work is they are in an extremely lucky location where prices are way cheap. I live abroad and come th o the US for only about three weeks out of the year and it's actually cheaper for me to rent a storage unit and just put my car in it for the year.
Thanks for a very informative video. I am planning to rent a car for my forthcoming trip to Norway. If you can, please provide names of reliable rental car companies in Norway that are fair in their dealing.
Is it there such a thing as "LOSS OF PROFIT / LOSS OF USE" COVERAGE for which you'll have to pay EXTRA to be 100% covered ??? > for example: the car you are renting gets damaged in a accident and needs to be sent to a REPAIR SHOP. The RENTAL COMPANY then, if you did'nt pay for the extra coverage, can charge you a " LOSS OF PROFIT / LOSS OF USE" fee for the TIME [ DAYS / WEEKS ] the car can not be used by another client ?????
The price depends also on the low season. LIke here in the summer time is a high season for rental and the demand is high and therefore ofcourse the price is high. In the low season like in the winter time there is no problem to get a good deal on a rent especially if you want to rent a car 2-4 weeks or more. I cant speak for other people but in my case the customers has always right and I never want to scam a customer. I just think some people scam and dont value their work or line of work. But supply and demand makes the basics of the price for almost every business regarding rent.
Rented economy bookings. They double charged me. This. Is true. Face Still check your ratings on theses complaints on these companies. ,! Terrible headache.
Contact Economy Bookings to get the bill fixed. I've never had any problems with them and in checking prices in Croatia they were the best option. If you find something better let me know.
So, I just checked both Skyscanner AND Economy Booking...and the difference was MASSIVE. Economy booking was about twice as much for the cheapest rental car as Skyscanner was..(and yes, U.S.A. was selected as my country of residence). Clearly nothing in this industry is EVER stable or dependable.
@@JerryRomineStocks Thank you! I have not rented a car online in years, and I really appreciate learning about these websites from you. I did not know about them before :)
If I book a car through hotwire, how do I get 3rd party insurance? And if I have it, can they still charge for scratches? I have never rented a car before as it shows from my questions. Which company have you had the best experience with?
Always take pictures/video of the car before you get it and after you return it. Follow the instructions from the video. For insurance I like to use my Visa CC which includes it for free.
There is no mandatory insurance if you pay with a major credit card that includes insurance as a benefit. I never pay for their insurance because it is a waste of money since it already covered with my credit card.
I'm from HK and need to rent a car as US . Car I pls know a reasonable renting company. Just don't want to deal with a company that not honest and spending too much time on business trips thx
im 24 years old and need a car to go to my job interviews and work for at least 3 weeks but i dont have no paycheck stub im so stressed out i dont know what to do i only have 800 dollars cash and my bank closed my accounts im at rock bottom what to do
Best video, only 58k views by November 9, 2021? Maybe promote a little? Such good info. They tried the credit card gag on me. I wish I watched this first, I would have been able to nip it at the bud, instead I had the hassle of filing a credit card claim.
I've never been asked for that in all of my travels. Normally all they need is a copy of your passport, license or international license, and a credit card.
@@JerryRomineStocks Who do you normally rent from ? If you dont mind answering. Because I went to enterprise and they were strict about a stupid utility bill, it didnt matter if you had the money. Smh
Hello,I’m Not sure what’s going on with trying to rent a car on Azores next summer? It’s all small cars for over 1200$ for only like 14 days.I know it’s hard to get there. I understand.However I’ve been there in 2018 I didn’t pay more than 300,for almost 3 weeks .Thank you!!! It’s more than 500% now.I tried whole bunch of websites with not too much luck unfortunately.
@@JerryRomineStocks I have no idea lol I have never had my own car insurance. So basically, it's not a good idea to get a rental car if I don't have car insurance in my home country? And travel insurance doesn't cover things related to car damage? If basic travel insurance is good, I always get basic travel insurance for like emergency medical coverage, so I thought that would cover it. Pardon my ignorance!
I also want to mention with my experience, they gave me free prepaid fuel my next rental which saved me $60 on my recent road trip. I always buy lost waiver damage and third party liability, people can use their own insurance, third party, but I been in an accident 2 years ago fully insured with rental insurance and that case isn't settled yet (happened in January 2019 Las Vegas in a black Dodge Challenger R/T when Uber driver wasn't paying attention and hit my rental car.
Not in Canada. I tried Economy Bookings to get a quote for a week from Toronto (YYZ). The best I could get was $67 per day. I am a Canadian citizen. We in Canada are being screwed by the car rental industry.
The car rental industry has been nuts since Covid. In some areas complete insanity for the prices. I'm going to Mexico and just priced cars and can get them well below $10 a day so that was a relief.
Possibly. Try Momondo.com and RentalCars.com in a private window. Maybe you will get lucky. FYI: For Mexico most of the rates we very high and I ended up booking a car for $4.10 per day with EconomyBookings.com. I could have gotten even cheaper but I did not like the reviews for the other company so I went with EB since I know them.
Thanks for all info some I did know some did not. I rent cars a lot and most of the time don´t have a problem. I use most of the time bigger name brand. Know car rental has gone up a lot need look at smaller ones thanks for all the tips.
Do I have to pay for cancel protection, full coverage and roadside assistance as an additional cost for the car on economy bookings? I’m not sure if one of them are necessary to pay. Btw your video helped me a lot!
Yeah add ons make money and services but it is hard to scam customers if you are thinking professional. But the cars must be fixed and if a customer makes a damage then offcourse the customer must pay but that is why the insurrance is on the rent.

my car broke down and need anything right now...r u saying rent a van or whatever from uhaul for couple days is cheaper route
What was the condition on the car that you got from Economy booking, was it new? Great video by the way thanks for sharing
Car conditions have all been OK to good. Key thing is to take pictures and video of car condition and get everything documented in writing when you take the car.
I always use expida months ahead and check weekly and re book cuz they prices go down and change weekly .
They charged me for their service.i will never use them again!! I ended up paying more.

In the low season like in the winter time there is no problem to get a good deal on a rent especially if you want to rent a car 2-4 weeks or more.
I cant speak for other people but in my case the customers has always right and I never want to scam a customer.
I just think some people scam and dont value their work or line of work.
But supply and demand makes the basics of the price for almost every business regarding rent.

Rented economy bookings. They double charged me. This. Is true. Face
Still check your ratings on theses complaints on these companies. ,! Terrible headache.
Contact Economy Bookings to get the bill fixed. I've never had any problems with them and in checking prices in Croatia they were the best option. If you find something better let me know.
That's worth a like and subscribe.
Much appreciated.
What about security deposit?
Amazing video :) thanks so much!!!
You're so welcome!
So, I just checked both Skyscanner AND Economy Booking...and the difference was MASSIVE. Economy booking was about twice as much for the cheapest rental car as Skyscanner was..(and yes, U.S.A. was selected as my country of residence). Clearly nothing in this industry is EVER stable or dependable.
Everything varies and that is the importance of checking multiple sites. :)
@@JerryRomineStocks Thank you! I have not rented a car online in years, and I really appreciate learning about these websites from you. I did not know about them before :)
If I book a car through hotwire, how do I get 3rd party insurance? And if I have it, can they still charge for scratches? I have never rented a car before as it shows from my questions. Which company have you had the best experience with?
Always take pictures/video of the car before you get it and after you return it. Follow the instructions from the video. For insurance I like to use my Visa CC which includes it for free.
@@JerryRomineStocks Are you trying to say that insurance doesn't cover scratches?
This video is very helpful thank you
You're welcome Sani Bravo Reacts! 🙏
Thank you for sharing!! You are a shape shifter!!😳

I'd like to know your advise on obtaining 3rd party liability insurance for car rentals.
3rd Party I do not use because I get it free with my credit card.
@@JerryRomineStocks credit Cards cover LDW but not Liability.
They is also a mandatory insurance that they have to put and it is like $7-11 per day.
There is no mandatory insurance if you pay with a major credit card that includes insurance as a benefit. I never pay for their insurance because it is a waste of money since it already covered with my credit card.
In Orlando its mandatory i was sent away 4 places this week I have 2 cars at home that cover this
Stop renting cars at high rates. Never support gouging.
I'm from HK and need to rent a car as US . Car I pls know a reasonable renting company. Just don't want to deal with a company that not honest and spending too much time on business trips thx
im 24 years old and need a car to go to my job interviews and work for at least 3 weeks but i dont have no paycheck stub im so stressed out i dont know what to do i only have 800 dollars cash and my bank closed my accounts im at rock bottom what to do
Best video, only 58k views by November 9, 2021? Maybe promote a little? Such good info. They tried the credit card gag on me. I wish I watched this first, I would have been able to nip it at the bud, instead I had the hassle of filing a credit card claim.
Thank you for the kind words Alvin Moneypit. 🙏
Where can someone rent a car if they have no address. Some places need a utility bill or something.
I've never been asked for that in all of my travels. Normally all they need is a copy of your passport, license or international license, and a credit card.
@@JerryRomineStocks Who do you normally rent from ? If you dont mind answering. Because I went to enterprise and they were strict about a stupid utility bill, it didnt matter if you had the money. Smh
@@user-yc7vv2mz3v rent atleast 24 hr in advance you'll only need license and debit or credit card
Hello,I’m Not sure what’s going on with trying to rent a car on Azores next summer? It’s all small cars for over 1200$ for only like 14 days.I know it’s hard to get there. I understand.However I’ve been there in 2018 I didn’t pay more than 300,for almost 3 weeks .Thank you!!! It’s more than 500% now.I tried whole bunch of websites with not too much luck unfortunately.
There's some post covid price gouging going on in some places.
@@JerryRomineStocks Thank You so much Jerry!!!
Can't beat a How To! Haha😆
Actually I've rented a car as low as 8 dollars
Yes it can be done
😀🙃😆
Please where and how?
Mind sharing the site name or how you did it?

How please help
Do you need car insurance to rent a car? I don't have it but I want to rent a car in the UK
Yes. What if you wreck the car?
@@JerryRomineStocks I have no idea lol I have never had my own car insurance. So basically, it's not a good idea to get a rental car if I don't have car insurance in my home country? And travel insurance doesn't cover things related to car damage? If basic travel insurance is good, I always get basic travel insurance for like emergency medical coverage, so I thought that would cover it. Pardon my ignorance!
I want to rent a car and drive from St Louis to New Mexico can you show me the cheapest way to do that
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤️ love that self esteem comment.
✌😊👀✔
Any for jamaica??
I also want to mention with my experience, they gave me free prepaid fuel my next rental which saved me $60 on my recent road trip.
I always buy lost waiver damage and third party liability, people can use their own insurance, third party, but I been in an accident 2 years ago fully insured with rental insurance and that case isn't settled yet (happened in January 2019 Las Vegas in a black Dodge Challenger R/T when Uber driver wasn't paying attention and hit my rental car.

Not in Canada. I tried Economy Bookings to get a quote for a week from Toronto (YYZ). The best I could get was $67 per day. I am a Canadian citizen. We in Canada are being screwed by the car rental industry.
The car rental industry has been nuts since Covid. In some areas complete insanity for the prices. I'm going to Mexico and just priced cars and can get them well below $10 a day so that was a relief.
@@JerryRomineStocks So am I stuck using Uber to get around when visiting my Mom. Sorry, going to Mexico is not an option.
Possibly. Try Momondo.com and RentalCars.com in a private window. Maybe you will get lucky.
FYI: For Mexico most of the rates we very high and I ended up booking a car for $4.10 per day with EconomyBookings.com. I could have gotten even cheaper but I did not like the reviews for the other company so I went with EB since I know them.
thanks for info
You're welcome Matthew Dixon! 🙏
Thanks for all info some I did know some did not. I rent cars a lot and most of the time don´t have a problem. I use most of the time bigger name brand. Know car rental has gone up a lot need look at smaller ones thanks for all the tips.
You're welcome AntiMagicDragon! 🙏
Do I have to pay for cancel protection, full coverage and roadside assistance as an additional cost for the car on economy bookings? I’m not sure if one of them are necessary to pay. Btw your video helped me a lot!
When I rent with my credit card I have all of the insurance I need and decline all options. Check with your credit cards to see what they cover. :)
Are you from Latvia?
German American. :)
No cars found. Nothing available.. on and on and on!!
I'm going to Mexico in about a week and got under $5 per day. 🙂
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste and Thank You for All that you are doing for World Peace.. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮️ ❤️🕊
You're welcome PeaceChanel! 🙏
I went to these Websites and in Oklahoma City, I can't get the price down below 30.00. So maybe it's the area you live in?
It will vary by location and COVID has really increased the rates in some areas.
How do I rent a car in anchorage Alaska for second week June 2021? All sites show “no cars” now what?
No locations are tough right now. I know Hawaii is currently crazy expensive.
Excellent thank you
Yeah add ons make money and services but it is hard to scam customers if you are thinking professional.
But the cars must be fixed and if a customer makes a damage then offcourse the customer must pay but that is why the insurrance is on the rent.
😀🙃😆
This doesn’t take into account the cost of getting to the airport if you don’t have a car.
The video is about the car rental cost not about the cost of getting to the car rental location.
