Renting a car during the holidays at some new destination offers you the freedom to not only explore the beauty of that place but also to enjoy the holidays according to your wish. It also offers you the freedom from deciding your travel program according to the availability of the local transport. The only matter of concern when you rent a car is a budget because as you will be traveling in a personal vehicle, you will have to high travel charges than compared to charges charged by the public transport facilities. 

Going through this reason there are lots of people who avoid traveling in a rented car due to high charges. If you are also planning to visit any of the islands in Greece let us, for instance, say Paxos Island and plan to rent a car in Paxos there are certain tips by which you can save lots of money on your travel and enjoy your holidays in a convenient way. Some of these tips are mentioned below:

1. Book the Car before Your Arrival: If you are going on a holiday for ten days with your family and think to rent a car after reaching Paxos Island, then you are making a big mistake. It is because you will be tired and therefore will be ready to pay any price asked by the rental company. Anyhow even if you succeed in negotiating with the prices, the chances are more that you will not be able to find a car of your choice. To avoid all such problems, it is recommended to book a car before your arrival. Today almost all car agencies have their official website on which they display the details including the pictures of the cars owned by them along with their photos from all angles.  These pictures reveal the exact condition of the car that will be delivered to you. Along with this, you will also be able to know the documents required for renting a car, like the types of license, mode of payment, etc. In case if you plan to rent a car at the time of your arrival then in the absence of any document you will not be given a car by the agency.
2. Months of Your Visit: Normally the months from May to August are regarded as the tourist months with a plethora of tourists from different regions of Europe visiting Greece. Therefore taking the advantage of the situation the car rental agencies hardly negotiate with the prices, due to which you might have to pay the asked charges. On the other side if you travel after August and before the month of May, then due to the limited number of tourists on the island you will be in a position to negotiate with the prices.
3. Don’t Book a Car With Mileage Limit: There are lots of car rental agencies that allow you to drive up to a limited mileage during a day. This restricts the tourists from traveling around their destination with full freedom. In case if they drive more than their determined limit then they are required to pay extra money for the kilometres driven by them. It is, therefore, better to always book a car without any mileage limit.
4. Try to Rent a Small Car: Renting a car doesn’t mean that you should always book an SUV or a sedan for your travel, doing this directly means high charges. The best way to cope with such a situation is to book a car according to the number of persons in your group and the luggage you are carrying. If you are traveling only with your spouse or with your spouse and two children, then booking a hatchback is enough to satisfy your travel needs.
5. Ask for the Fuel Policy: Normally the car rental agency asks their customers to fill the fuel up to the level at which they were given the car, while some ask to fill the full fuel tank at the time of returning. Renting a car from an agency that asks you to fill the fuel tank full will be an expensive deal for any customer. Therefore always try to book a car in which you have to fill the fuel tank up to the level at which was given to you for driving.

Conclusion: Going on holiday’s means spending some quality time with your family and friends in a relaxed mood. Renting a car is the best way to explore the beauty of the destination you are going to visit during the holidays. Following the above-mentioned tips will offer you the privilege of enjoying your holidays without any concern of extra financial burden on your pocket because of high car rental charges.
