'Pick it up Full, Drop it off Full' - Top 5
Tips when Hiring a Car

PR Newswire

LONDON, December 19, 2012

LONDON, December 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Leading car hire
comparator eRentals.co.uk has announced the top 5 T&C's of car
hire suppliers that are most often missed by holidaymakers

As with any purchase, when hiring a car the supplier's terms and
conditions need to be understood. Often in small print and with many
points to read, not examining this fine print could result in
incurring additional costs which could have been avoided, or losing
the vehicle all together before your holiday has even started.

To help get travellers off on the right foot when planning a
holiday, leading UK car hire comparator eRentals.co.uk has listed
the top 5 points to remember to ensure your vehicle hire runs
smoothly, as well as advice on how to avoid potential pitfalls.

1. Comprehensive Insurance Cover

When hiring a car basic insurance is often included in the price.
However, unbeknown to many consumers this doesn't always cover
certain parts of the car including windscreens and the undercarriage
and can only be third party. To ensure you don't get stung if you
were to be in an accident ensure you have Collision Damage Excess
Waiver Insurance. This means the cost of paying the insurance excess
to a car hire supplier if you damaged the vehicle will be covered by
the policy. Without this, the amount could be taken off your credit
card.

2. Credit Cards and Sufficient
Funds

A credit card will almost always be required when hiring a car
and the card has to be in the lead driver's name. Failure to take a
credit card in the correct name means it's likely you will be
refused the car on collection and may also struggle to find an
alternative supplier. Furthermore, make sure you have sufficient
funds available on the card itself as the card will need to be able
to cover the excess amount stated in the policy should any damage be
done.

3. Fuel Costs

Always remember 'Pick Up Full, Drop off Full' and you won't find
yourself being charged for fuel when you return the vehicle. Using
this policy means you will know exactly how much you have used and
are only paying for this amount, not extra.

4. Additional Extras

Car hire companies will usually always supply you, if required,
with extras such as child seats and sat navs. However, these will
often be 'payable locally' so you will have to pay per day and they
can be costly. When possible, take your own, or if you need to hire
remember to be ready to pay the costs on arrival or they can refuse
to supply you with the items. Also try and pre-book these when you
initially hire the car as they will have limited availability.

5. Preliminary Vehicle Checks

Make sure you don't fall foul of a potential scam by always
checking the vehicle with the supplier before driving off. Ensure
any noticeable damage, such as large chip marks or damage to
paintwork, is written down by the supplier and recorded as already
being there before you took the car. Otherwise you risk both losing
your deposit and possibly having to pay for repairs.

Briony Fairbairn of eRentals.co.uk says: "These are the top 5
terms and conditions that holidaymakers were found either, most
likely to forget or most likely to not know altogether. Remembering
these 5 top tips will significantly reduce the chances of your car
hire experience going wrong."

Generating a regulated voltage from input
rails exceeding 100 V is challenging. A limited selection of
integrated solutions complicates the problem. Creating a discrete
voltage regulator enables a low-cost solution, but the design
process is involved and requires a deeper understanding of key
engineering tradeoffs, with an emphasis on device thermal
properties.
