Renting a car can be stressful, even for the most veteran of travelers. To help ease you through the process, here are the top five hints to use the next time you’re planning to take advantage of an airport car rental in Stansted.

First, plan ahead. By knowing where you will be going and what you will be doing you can better mold a budget that fits your wants and needs. Additionally, it will give you more time to plan out your trip and find better deals.

Second, keep to your budget. There is no point in having a budget if you don’t stick with it. When you do keep to your budget, you can enjoy more and not worry about going into debt on your trip.

Third, take out the additional insurances whenever possible. This, while being slightly more expensive, can save you a lot of time and money should something happen while you’re on your trip.

Fourth, time your pick up and drop off times so that you won’t have to pay any additional fees. A good idea is at least an hour after your stated time of arrival for pick up and then as close to your departure time as possible.

Finally, shop around. When you use the tool on this site to book your rental, you don’t have to stop looking for a great deal. In fact, if you find a better deal within three days of making a reservation, the price match guarantee allows you the lower price.
