Misconceptions About Short-Term Car Rental Services

Renting a car is rarely a simple process, but when you choose to work with the right firm, it doesn’t need to be a complex undertaking. Due to the hassle some people have experienced when working with particular firms, alongside the unpredictability of contract terms, plenty of myths and misconceptions persist around the process, which we’ll look to clear up within this helpful blog post. From questions surrounding the conditions of vehicles provided, to the appeal of working with bigger firms, let Chief Vehicle Rentals offer that all-important clarity.

The Bigger Companies Are Usually The Best

To say the biggest firms are always the best would be untrue - as many of the large and well known brokerage firms usually combine the deals of big companies with smaller rental firms. This means that by working with a smaller firm, you’re not only sourcing a good deal, but working directly with a team you would have otherwise contacted through a third party. With smaller firms dealing with a smaller volume of customers, expect competitive prices, attention to detail and a wide array of vehicle options.

Any Car I Hire Won’t Be In A Good Condition

Worried that a hire car will arrive in poor condition with faulty parts and a shoddy appearance? If you work with Chief Vehicle Rentals we’ll ensure your car is in tip top shape when rented from us, with meticulous checks, cleaning and maintenance. We know the exact condition of our vehicles before they are sent out to you, so you’ll never be charged for damage that wasn’t your fault either - a common gripe when working alongside larger rental firms that perhaps lack customer service.

There Are Limited Vehicle Options

To say there are limited vehicle options within our range would be a lie, as we provide everything from commercial vans and family cars to minibuses and more. Our range of hire cars includes smaller commuter cars as well as minibuses able to hold up to 17 passengers at any one time! Catering to situations as varied as airport runs, day trips and periods of maintenance while your own car is being repaired following an accident, we can provide a vehicle for your context.

Contracts Are Very Strict

Though our contracts of course factor in considerations such as damages, hire length and your intentions while the vehicle is in your name, we’re flexible when it comes to it, so the best thing you can do if you’re unsure of your situation is contact us and explain your conditions. If you require a vehicle for a prolonged period of time, change your plans, or even need a larger vehicle or upgrade mid contract term, our team would be more than happy to discuss matters.
