Cheap Car Hire in cheonan-asan Station
When you want a cheaper hire, you can lower the price through careful considerations of what you need. Car hire companies at cheonan-asan Station might be a little more expensive than a company off-site, so you can always find your way to an off-site option if need be. However, if you’re not able to get from the train station to an off-site car company, you can still minimize the amount you have to pay. Our first pro tip is to book in advance, this not only means less to figure out on the day but also avoids having to potentially take a vehicle which exceeds your needs - which often will come at a higher price point. Consider any extras the car company offers. Items like GPS or toll transponders can cost you more money. If you don’t need these because you have your own, or can use a substitute such as your phone, you shouldn’t take them. You’ll be spending money needlessly, and driving up the cost of your rental.
This higher cost is due to the companies relying on you needing their services. For instance, if you arrive at cheonan-asan Station without a reserved car, and you desperately need one to finish your journey, you’ll likely not shop around or go off-site to find a cheaper deal. Instead, you’ll probably take what you can get, and what you’ll get is something expensive.
Buying your own insurance instead of relying on the car company is also a popular choice for wanting a cheaper rental. You can also check to see if your chosen company has any deals or vouchers for early bookings, which you can then use to your advantage.
Tips for Hiring a Car from cheonan-asan Station
Hiring a car in cheonan-asan Station is relatively straightforward, but here are a few tips you can use for a smoother experience.
First, know where you need to go. Though this might seem self-explanatory, cheonan-asan Station can be a confusing place, especially with lots of people all going in different directions. Figure out where your car hire company is in the train station, so you know where to go when you arrive.
Although you probably won’t know where your platform will be when your train comes in, you can still use the information about your car hire company to locate it faster. If you don’t know where it is, and you don’t know the layout of the train station at all, you’ll have a harder time finding it than if you do some research ahead of time.
Second, know what documents you need. When you show up at the car hire company, you’ll need to have your documents ready for them to look at. This will get you your car faster and also make the process simpler for the car hire representative. If they don’t know who you are or what reservations you might have made, they’ll have a tougher time trying to help you. Remember to bring a government-issued photo ID, a reservation receipt or email, your proof of insurance, credit card, and anything else your car rental company requires.
Third, know what things to check. You’ll have to inspect the vehicle beforehand to make sure you return it in the same condition. Look for scrapes or scratches on the bumpers and paint, check the level of petrol, and the condition inside the vehicle. If you have your phone, consider recording a video showing the outside of the vehicle, making sure to capture any scuffs or broken parts.
You should also know what kind of fuel the car uses and if the company has a full to full policy (i.e. it’s delivered full, so should be returned full). Also check that you know when you can return the car, and what to do if you want to return it after the company’s hours.
Can you drop it off at another location? If you only need the car for a few days here and there, is it cheaper to rent over the entire period, or to rent several cars as you need them?
Fourth, know what insurance coverage you’ll need. Most car rental companies require you to have your own insurance. If you don’t, they will have you buy some from them, which is often much more expensive. Be sure you get appropriate insurance beforehand and carry proof of it with you so you won’t have to pay car hire company premiums.
