Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to check other Web sites to make sure you have found the best price.
• Print any confirmations and bring them with you in case there are any questions.
• Consider the type of parking available at your destination before deciding on a car size. If you are reserving a car in a European country, their parking spots are often much smaller than those in the United States.
• Occasionally, when you press the orange search button in step eight, you will end up back on the home page. If this happens, press the green back arrow near your browser and then press the orange Search button again.
• Be sure to leave a copy of your itinerary with someone at home in case you need to contacted in case of an emergency.
• Don't forget about small children and their car seat needs.
