You love to travel—love to go where you’ve never gone before, explore lands you’ve never seen, dine on strange dishes, and meet new faces. While there is a lot to love about being on the road, it does come with a few inconveniences. Travel tours, for one, are all about schedules. You can’t take your time. You’re always in a rush. If you love to linger, to take in a new place in days, going about in a mad scramble from one tourist spot to another can be a stressful experience.

So if you want more freedom on your trip, the best way to get it is to rent a car and drive to the destinations you had in mind. Going around is so much easier when you can control the pace of the trip and driving your own wheels let’s you do that.

Renting a Car

To find the best make and model for you, first you have to know what you want. Independent Traveler says to think carefully about what you need. If you’re bringing the kids along on your trip, you’ll need a bigger sedan, with ample space for your family. If you’re looking to save up on costs, going for the smallest model is a practical move. Don’t forget to make room for your luggage too. A lot of travelers make the mistake of booking a rental car that’s a size too small. So if there’s four of you in the group, you’ll need to rent a car bigger than a sedan—maybe an SUV—to make sure there’s enough room for you and your luggage as well.

Booking the Car

Make sure you book in advance of your trip. Don’t leave off finalizing the preparations at the last minute. The good ones might already long gone by then. You wouldn’t want to be stuck in a mini-compact just because it was it only one left. Also, try to call instead of booking online. You could try to negotiate and might end up getting better rates.

Picking up the Car

You already know you shouldn’t be late when you pick up your rental car. But if your flight gets delayed or if your flight got moved to an earlier time, then make sure to call and let the rental company know.
