    There are plenty of options people can use to travel around the city –  trains, buses, taxis and rental cars. Most people find traveling on a rental car more convenient than other options. However, many hesitate to rent a car because they think that rental cars are always expensive.

    Rental cars can be more expensive than public transport, but that doesn’t mean they’ll always put a dent in your wallet. There are plenty of ways to find a reasonably priced rental car. In this post, we’ll share those with you to help you rent a car cheaply.

    1) Don’t Rent at the Airport

    Car rental companies might recommend you to rent a vehicle at the airport. Renting your vehicle at the airport is surely convenient. Unfortunately, this convenience comes with a hefty price tag. Vehicle rental prices are much lower at regional locations than they are at the airport. Renting a vehicle at other sites might add some hassle and time to your planned trip. However, it’ll also save you money.

    2) Check the Receipt for Any Add-On Charge

    Rental car companies can tack on unexpected and extra charges at drop-off. Some agents tend take advantage of naïve customers by sneaking in refueling charges or not applying a discount. Before you leave the lot, review the receipt and inquire about the charges. Extra charges could be added by mistake or the company could try to screw you on purpose. If you notice something fishy, talk to the manager and dispute it.

    3) Skip the Brands

    You may think that the large rental companies offer the best deals. That’s not true. Good things like cheap rental cars often come from unexpected sources. These unexpected sources are less obvious car rental companies that often offer better deals than big brands. Check and compare rates at different car rental agencies to find the cheapest deal.

    4) Avoid Insurance

    Additional insurance such as “Loss Damage Waivers” can cost you $20-$30 per day on rental fee. Before you sign off on insurance offered by your car rental company, check your existing policy and your credit card companies. You may already be covered under your own policy, which would save you a lot of money.

    5) Negotiate One-Way Drop fees

    It’s very hard to avoid drop fees charged by car rental companies for one way trips. But, some companies are willing to negotiate these charges while others charge lower drop fees. Call the car rental companies to see if they’ll waive it. Drop fees can vary depending on type of vehicle you rent. If that is the case, it is best to rent an economy vehicle. Economy vehicle almost always come with a low drop fee which means you’ll save plenty of cash by renting one.

    Saving money on rental car companies shouldn’t be a hassle. Now that you know how to rent a car cheaply, go ahead and book your next ride without breaking the bank.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
