Benefits of Renting Local vs. National Brands Whether you’re planning to rent a car for business or personal travel, there are many rental car companies to choose from. Unsurprisingly, you may first think of the big-name national brands when you think of rental cars. But more often than not, you’ll find better prices and more personalized, attentive customer service when you rent with a local rental car company. National brands certainly have well-known, household names with many locations across the country. But their prices, policies, and customer service also reflect their corporate size and management. Local brands are locally owned, if not family owned, and have more freedom in how they conduct business and relate to customers. Check out a few reasons why renting local should be a top priority the next time you’re planning to book a driving trip: > Support a Local Business & Reap the Benefit(s) When you rent with a local brand, you’re not only supporting the local economy, but you’re also supporting a locally owned, likely family-owned, business rather than contributing to a corporate conglomerate. Renting local allows you to rent from those who are truly your neighbors, rather than an impersonal, nationwide brand. The local tourism industry will benefit from patronizing a local rental brand, as well. > More Personalized Attention When you rent with a local brand, you — the customer — are the number one priority. National brands have to answer to corporate offices and stakeholders, and the customer often ends up a lower priority. Local brands, however, have customers as their sole focus, meaning you get the attention you deserve. Expect more one-on-one, personalized service when you rent with a local brand. You’re not just one among thousands of people going in and out of the rental facility each year — you’re a valued customer who is trusting our company to skillfully handle your travel needs, and local brands — like Savannah Car Rental — are in a better position to prioritize you. > Better Rates & Policies You’ll likely find better, more economical rates and policies when renting with local brands. Local brands have much more freedom and flexibility in terms of how business is conducted compared to national brands. The policies and prices of national brands are usually dictated by corporate offices. Local brands will not only have better rates, but also more freedom to offer better deals and promotions as they aren’t subject to nationwide, corporate-driven promotional campaigns.

4 Ways to Make Car Repair Easier   Whether your brakes have failed, or you need a new air conditioner filter, taking your car to the shop can be a daunting task. Auto repair has the potential to be expensive and time-consuming. It can also be a challenge to figure out alternative transportation while your car is in the shop, so you don’t have to completely rearrange your schedule.   However, you can make the entire auto repair experience easier with research, planning, and a little help from Savannah Car Rental:   Explore Your Options   Don’t take your car to the first shop in the phonebook or the first listing on Angie’s List. Whether you need routine maintenance or a major repair (like brakes, transmission, etc.), it’s worth it to take the time to explore your options so you can find the best repair shop for you, your car, and your budget.   When researching repair shops, be sure to read reviews and consider ratings, like ratings from the Better Business Bureau. Compare prices for routine maintenance and be sure to consider how long various repair shops anticipate a larger job to take.   Gather Multiple Quotes   Gathering quotes from multiple auto repair shops is most important if your car needs major repairs. Consult with several auto repair shops; describe what repairs your car will need done, and request an estimated price, as well as how long the job will take. Remember that the shop’s location, hours, size, and number of employees all may play a role in the price of auto repair.   If possible, plan auto repair around your schedule.   If possible, plan for your car to be in the shop at a time that is convenient for you. Schedule appointments and maintenance on days you have off from work, or during weeks that you have more flexibility in your schedule. Doing so will make sure the chore of auto repair doesn’t interfere with your obligations to work and family.   Let Savannah Car Rental help!   Regardless of whether you can plan ahead for your auto repair, Savannah Car Rental can help make auto repair easier. Plan to rent from SCR so you have a reliable, safe mode of transportation while your car is in the shop, whether it’s for a day or a week.   We have three convenient locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro where you can choose any one of our late model, low-mileage Nissans to help you keep on schedule even when your car is out of commission. We offer compact cars and minivans and everything in between to accommodate you and your family.   When you rent with Savannah Car Rental, you’ll also be able to take advantage of discounts like our 10% college student discount, or our security deposit waiver for active duty military.   Auto repair can be a hassle, but with Savannah Car Rental, it doesn’t have to be. We offer a solution to the inconvenience of taking your car to the shop — rent with us for a seamless auto repair experience!

Summer is coming to a close—so it’s time to consider a last-minute vacation to soak up just a bit more sun and enjoy a few more adventures before calendars become full of school activities, sports, and homework assignments. There are many incredible options for vacations within just a few hours’ drive of Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. You can plan a fun, last-minute summer vacation—and an affordable one! —with a little help from Savannah Car Rentals. Cheap car rentals make a driving trip possible. We have three locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro, all with convenient hours. Our customers enjoy low-mileage, late-model Nissans of various sizes to help you enjoy your vacation in any of the beautiful destinations in southeast Georgia and surrounding areas. Consider embarking on a trip to one of these nearby locations for an unforgettable last-minute summer vacation:  St. Simon’s Island, GA: This quaint island in south Georgia is less than an hour and a half south of Savannah; you’ll drive right by the Savannah College of Art and Design on your way there. The Bloody Marsh Battle site is located here, and it’s an important part of Georgia history. Here the British fought Spanish invaders in 1742, eliminating the threat of Spanish conquest. For those in your group less interested in history, the St. Simon’s Lighthouse is a must-see. Further, St. Simon’s beaches have minimal development, so you can enjoy natural beaches and enjoy seeing wildlife like dolphins and even sea turtles. Beaufort, SC: Beaufort had the honor of being named the “South’s Best Small Town” by Southern Living Magazine in 2017. It’s just an hour and a half east of Georgia Southern University, located in Statesboro. Beaufort is made even more unique by the Spanish moss shading its quiet streets and surrounding impressive Civil War-era homes. Enjoy waterfront views walking or biking along the Spanish Moss Trail, a ten-mile paved trail that takes you through low country marshes and unique neighborhoods of Beaufort County. Amelia Island, FL: Amelia Island is just two hours from Hinesville and Armstrong Atlantic State University, and offers some of the best beaches in the southeast. Kayak through the nearby marshes to appreciate local wildlife, or visit the Fort Clinch Civil War fort. Amelia Island is also a great place to charter a sea fishing boat and either try your hand at fishing for ocean creatures, or just enjoy time on the water. If you’re coming from Hinesville or Statesboro, there are also plenty of fun things to do in Savannah, such as eat, shop, and stroll in the charming Historic District, tour the SCAD Museum of Art, or admire the impressive live oaks and Spanish Moss at the Wormsloe Historic Site. Make the most of these final days of summer and plan a last-minute vacation to experience the history, natural beauty, and unique environments of St. Simon’s Island, Beaufort, or Amelia Island. Savannah Car Rental can provide a cheap car rental to make your vacation safe, fun, and affordable.
