Cheap Thrifty Car Hire Deals at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, CAE

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Allow for possible delays at the rental desk, particularly during busy travel times.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Determine if your rental provider has an airport desk or if you’ll need to take a shuttle to reach them.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

With VoyageCopilot service, you can find car rental deals featuring self-service or keyless pick-up. No keys to collect or paperwork to complete means no waiting in line. Simply land, hop in, and drive off, ideal for those arriving late at Airport and eager to get on their way.

To save on refueling costs when departing from Airport, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.
