Cheap National Car Hire in Austin

When hiring a car in Austin, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, National charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

When hiring a car in Austin, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like National. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Austin, we have car hire deals from 13 suppliers. Among them, National has a rating of 4.6, Payless has a rating of 4.6, AVIS has a rating of 4.6 and Alamo has a rating of 4.6.

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

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.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

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.
