Quick Guide: How to Choose a Family Rental Car

1️⃣ Define Your Needs

Before booking, think about your family’s real travel needs:

• How many passengers and children will be in the car?

• Do you need space for a stroller or extra luggage?

• Will you be driving mostly in cities, on highways, or in rural areas?

2️⃣ Choose the Right Car Category

Pick a category that fits your comfort, space, and budget:

• Compact: Fuel-efficient and easy to park in cities.

• Mid-size SUV / Station Wagon: Ideal for families with gear or longer trips.

• Minivan: Best for 2–3 kids, strollers, and lots of luggage.

3️⃣ Understand the Real Rental Cost

The cheapest price isn’t always the best deal. Check:

• Insurance coverage and excess reduction.

• Extra fees for additional drivers or one-way rentals.

• Fuel and mileage policies — they can change the total cost.

4️⃣ Pay Attention to Family Comfort

Small details make a big difference:

• Request child seats in advance.

• Make sure there’s enough luggage room.

• Prefer cars with rear cameras, parking sensors, and good air-conditioning.

5️⃣ Book Early to Save Money

Prices rise as your travel date approaches.
Booking 3–4 weeks in advance often saves 20–30% and ensures a wider vehicle choice.

💡 TravelWizely Tip:
Whenever possible, choose a rental company with a drop-off station at the airport — it saves both time and hassle after your trip.
