  1. 5 Hidden Costs to Watch Out for in Detroit’s Online Car Reservations Online car reservations in Detroit are super convenient letting you get a ride whenever you need it whether it is a quick trip around town or a ride from the DTW airport. But with how easy it is to book a car online some sneaky extra costs can make what seems like a good deal turn into a pricey one. To make sure you are not paying more than you should it is really important to know about these extra charges. Here are five sneaky costs you should watch out for when booking a car in Detroit online. 5 Hidden Costs to Look For When Booking Online Cars 1. Airport Pickup and Drop-off Fees When you book a car online in Detroit, one of the sneaky costs you might not see coming is the airport pickup and drop off fee. If you are getting a car from a DTW airport car service make sure to read the fine print. A lot of car rental companies charge extra for picking up or dropping off the car at the airport. These fees can go from a few bucks to a big chunk of your total rental cost. They say these fees are for the convenience of picking up or dropping off the car right at the airport but it is key to think about this when planning your budget. To avoid any surprises look at the total cost before you book and see if it is cheaper to pick up the car somewhere

  2. else. Sometimes taking a short shuttle or cab ride to a different location can save you a lot of money. 2. Fuel Charges Another hidden cost that can quickly make your online car reservation in Detroitmore expensive is fuel charges. Most rental places give you two choices; fill up the tank before you return the car or pay extra to have it returned empty. If you choose the latter you could end up paying way more per gallon than you would expect since rental companies often mark up the price. To dodge this extra cost always go for a top-notch service provider offering online car reservations in Detroit. 3. Insurance and Extras When you're booking a car online in Detroit you will probably see a bunch of insurance options and extras popping up as you go through the booking process. While some of these are necessary others might not be needed if you already have car insurance or if your credit card offers rental car insurance. Collision Damage Waiver or CDW and Loss Damage Waiver or LDW are two common extras that rental companies try to sell you. These extras can really add up to your rental bill. Before you decide to buy more insurance, check with your car insurance company to see if you are already covered. Also some credit cards give you rental car insurance as a perk when you use the card to pay for the rental. Other extras to be careful about include GPS units, child seats and toll passes. While these can be handy they often cost extra. Think about using your phone for directions or bringing your own car seat if you can. 4. Young Driver Fees If you are younger than 25, you might have to pay extra for a young driver fee when you book a car online in Detroit. Many rental places see younger drivers as more of a risk and charge extra per day to cover that risk. This fee can go up to $30 a day, which can really add up to your rental bill. To avoid this extra cost, see if any companies offer discounts or waive the fee for younger drivers. 5. Extra Driver Costs If you're thinking about splitting the driving duties, keep in mind that there might be extra costs for having another driver on the rental. A lot of rental places charge a bit more for adding someone else to your rental. This extra charge can go from $10 to $15 a day, depending on where you are and which rental company you choose. To dodge this surprise expense get in touch with a top-notch company for DTW airport car service.

  3. Wrapping Up When you are looking to book a car online in Detroit, it is easy to just go for the price that is shown. But there are other costs like picking up and dropping off at the airport, paying for gas, extra insurance, charges for young drivers and more for another driver, which can really add up and make your car rental more expensive than you thought. By knowing about these extra charges and trying to avoid them, you can make sure your car rental is both affordable and hassle-free. Keep in mind always check the small print, compare different options and don't be afraid to ask questions before you book.
