If you were making in excess of 10,000 car rental bookings a year with a car rental company you would be expecting a discount from the standard rate. This is how car rental brokers operate. As there are a large number of customers booking cars on their websites. Brokers can ask for preferential rates. They then pass the savings on to their customers.

The broker will add his commission to the rate, but you will find that you will be still saving on the prices offered when dealing with the car rental company directly.

Supply and demand is generally how the hire firms operate. The busier they are prices will rise. If it is quiet the prices come down. Car rental is a seasonal business and prices normally start to rise the nearer you get to the summer months or other holiday periods like Christmas and Easter. When it is quiet the prices will come down, however the level they come down to will be similar to the rate available through a broker all year round.

There are other advantages to using a broker.

Brokers will usually have plenty of accounts with leading car hire companies . Depending on your needs they will be able to offer you the company that best meets your requirements.

Many of the brokers have a website which will allow you to book online 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.

They can often get cars when the car rental locations are nearing capacity and have stopped selling to the public.

Prices,terms and conditions can vary.

Some will take all the payment up front and charge you a substantial amount if you cancel. A cancellation fee is sometimes not charged by a small number of brokers who only take a small fee .

You may be able to find brokers who have extras included in the booking for example a free additional driver.

You can check out car hire savings online by looking at brokers websites available on line.
