Very few people have an impeccable driving record. In fact, the vast majority of people will have between one and four accidents before they are twenty-five and most will have several moving violations. Because of this, many car rental companies have a set list of criteria that will disqualify drivers from renting their cars. In many cases it takes serious offenses, such as DUI, DWAI and habitual offenders in speeding and accidents for a company to disallow you to rent from them. Unfortunately, there is no set guidelines as to what every company will consider to be a habitual offender and in many cases you may be disqualified and not even know.

To avoid this kind of embarrassment at the counter it is imperative that you call the company you are going to rent from prior to your arrival to find out what their qualifications are. Some companies simply verify that you have a valid license with no outstanding warrants and let you go on your way. The others, which unfortunately make up the majority of rental companies, will actually call and have your driving record faxed over before they allow you to take possession of the vehicle in question.

By calling and finding out the circumstances in which you would be disqualified from renting you can find out which companies and/or locations (as most are owned by individual franchisees) will allow you to rent without a driving record check or with minimal invasion. Nevertheless, once you find a company that will accept your driving record is only half the battle for most people. You will then need to compare to other companies that will allow you to rent from them and find the best price. By doing this you can ensure that you will have a pleasant trip from your front door on.

Negotiating your own car rental price can take some time and effort, but in the end it can save you a lot of money. If you’re planning to try to negotiate, it’s better to go to a small, independent rental car company. The big chains may be tied into national policies and rate structures that they can’t alter.

Prior to starting your negotiation, do a little research. Find out what the kind of car you want typically rents for in Las Vegas. Then be realistic. Most companies won’t go much lower than thirty to forty percent off their usual prices.

When opening the negotiation, let the company make the first offer. Then wince, shake your head, and say, “Wow,” as if you cannot believe they would charge so much. Allow a few seconds of silence. Sometimes the sales representative will spontaneously make you a lower offer. If he or she doesn’t, name your own price. It’s okay to lowball it a little bit, but not to the point of being unreasonable.

The sales representative will usually come back with a counter offer, and from there you can haggle back and forth until a mutually satisfying deal is reached or until you are at an impasse. Be creative
