Do You Make These Car Rental MistakesNeil Stelling Cheap car rental deals are spread all over the web. But not all are good deals. Theres a few thing you must look out for... or your cheap car rental deal might work out a lot more expensive than you planned ! Heres some things you mustnt do : * Forget to check the cars condition When you pickup the car, be sure to check it carefully. Some companies will blame pre-existing scratches & dents on you. They know it needs fixing, and wait for a sucker to pay for it. This is less likely with the big, reputable companies, but can be avoided with these tips. Check it over with the delivery guy, or when you go to pick it up. If you have a digital camera or camcorder, which you probably do if youre going on vacation, then give them a quick run over the car. Then you can prove the exact condition of the car when you first took it. * Dont use the Internet to check for best deals Of course youll check for deals on the Internet ! Thats probably where youre reading this article. But theres still people who dont check, and just take the first offline offer they see. Check online, and use one of the search engines that scans lots of different car rental offers. * Dont check Offline too Even though the Internet is probably the best place for car rental deals, its worth checking offline too. I found when searching for Hotel deals, I often get the best deals by calling ahead and negotiating with the receptionist its hard to negotiate with a web page. Yet, with Airline tickets the best deals are usually online, and the telephone/walk-in prices are higher and cant be negotiated. But with car rentals, if you want to cover all your bases, be sure to check online and offline. Your local car rental dealer might have a special offer hes forgotten to update on the web site, or maybe someones just cancelled a booking and you can take it cheap at short notice. * Dont carefully check the terms of your car rental deal Make sure youve got unlimited mileage if you want to drive a long way. Some deals have a mileage allowance, after which you get charged high dollar per extra mile. Unlimited works out best most times. Check the terms to see if you need to return the car gas tank full or nearly empty. I once made the mistake of returning it full when I didnt need to - the car rental company refused to refund the cost. * Fail to clean the car if you genuinely do get it dirty Its okay to return it dusty from driving a couple hundred miles, but if your kid sicks inside, or someone spills coffee, or drops a burger & fries, then clean it up ! If you dont the car rental company will add an extra cleaning charge onto your credit card. Follow these tips and youll have a relaxed and stress free car rental experience, all ready to enjoy your vacation or business trip. by Neil Stelling B.Sc, MBA - Marketing Manager,

Improve your Golf Game by Learning The Secrets of The Golf Club Grip Grips are the least expensive yet one of the most important parts of a golf club. Remember, the grip is the only part of the clubs that you make contact with, so it’s extremely important to make sure that you have the right size and the right quality of material. If you use a club grip that is too small, there is a good chance that the club will twist towards the target just before impact and cause the clubface to be closed. This often happens when the golfer unconsciously grips harder just before impact, resulting in the twist. If you use a club grip that is too big for you, your physical grip will often break loose at an off center impact causing the club face to be open My First Bear Encounter The summer I got my college degree in anthropology, I headed to a small ranch in Montana for a summer job.
