    Take pictures of car and internals to save on excess/charges after rental.

    • ooh, good idea

  • Best deals are always during the week and you have more negotiating options if you call the place you want to book (as in the local office directly). They make all decisions including half day discounts etc.

    Corporate rates are your friend if booking Tassie/

    • Or commercial vehicles

    Look at the second tier rental places that use shuttle buses from the airport, You'll find them much cheaper.

    Buy excess insurances from third party if you don't have CC that covers it.

  • Consider car shares like carnextdoor, or even goget/flexicar for short term. You might find some within walking distance of your arrival airport otherwise a short uber ride opens up your options, especially during peak periods.

    I doubt credit card insurance will cover them, however
