If you fly a lot, you probably are used to dealing with airport car rentals. Though most airports have these, there are some smaller ones that don’t. What you may not know is that these are often the most expensive car rentals out there, and there are a few things that you can do to save money when you must rent a car. No one wants to tell you, of course, but with a few phone calls you can save a few dollars on each and every one of your rentals.
You can use the airport car rentals if you want to, and I know that they are very convenient. However, if you do a lot of traveling, you may be tired of the cost that is associated with these rentals. What I learned when trying to find a decently priced car rental, I called the rental companies in my small city. They told me that they have rentals in the city, and they also have airport rentals. When I said I really needed to save some money, the woman on the phone told me a secret that you might not know.
If you ask the people at the counters of the airport car rentals, they most certainly won’t tell you this secret. It might not even be a huge secret, and it may not jive in every city or airport, but this is what I found. Airport car rentals are usually more expensive than if you were to go with a company that has an office in the city nearby. So if you find a company that will pick you up and take you to their office, or bring the car to you, you can save money by skipping the airport car rentals and calling someone else.
If you want to skip the airport car rentals by doing this, you may even save if they can’t pick you up. You may be able to get a free shuttle from the airport to the rental office. The cost of a cab into the rental office might seem like an extra expense, but at times even with the cost of the cab you will save more money if you skip the airport car rental and go to the nearby office. Sometimes you will even find that some companies have offices at the airport and in town, and you will see that sometimes their prices do indeed differ.

Africa Safari
One vacation that many couples dream about is visiting Africa. A trip to such an exotic locale can usually draw a couple closer and strengthen the bond that they share. The raw and animal qualities that are in the wild untamed lands can bring out the animal in all of us. An African safari has become more affordable and a favored vacation idea for newlywed couples looking for a memorable honeymoon experience.
There are few places that one can fully appreciate a sunset or the star filled nights as on a trip like this. Many of the guides that are involved with an African safari will keep the trip safe, yet will do all that they can to make it one that will be a memory that will never be forgotten. Your tour guide will explain every detail of your African safari and they’ll ensure that you’ll see and feel what the region has to offer. A lot of visitors wind up going on an African safari at least a few times in their life because they instantly fall in love with the experience.
Many people are also taken with the animals they see as they move along the African savanna. With the dry wind whipping past and the sun glaring down, the wildlife brings forth something that can not be seen anywhere else in the world. The savanna is just one area that can be seen on an African safari though. There are also lush areas that are filled with colorful forms of life and also the high lands to the south. A skilled guide will find a way to make the African safari something that will showcase all of this and make the whole experience last long beyond the typical two weeks that these adventures can take.
There are individuals who enjoy these adventures alone, but they are truly special when they are shared with someone else. Even a family can experience the adventure in a way that will teach more to children than any movie or book ever will. Some of Ernest Hemingway’s greatest inspirations can from his trips to Africa during the course of his life. He is only on example of someone that has shown the beauty that can be experienced on an African safari.
If you have a “to do” list, you should consider putting a trip to Africa on it. Once you are there, soaking up the atmosphere, hearing and seeing all the continent has to offer, you’ll sing the praises an African safari to everyone.
