Self-drive car rentals are the type of car rentals that allows the person renting the car to drive on his or her own. The person does not need to hire a driver or the diver that is provided by the car rental company. The car rental company may require some documents including a driver’s license before releasing the car. Self-drive car rentals have some advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, a self-drive car is cost-effective. This is because hiring a driver comes at an extra cost and you can save that money if you self-drive. Why pay for a driver if you know how to drive. The disadvantage is that if you are a foreigner or new in town, you may need a driver to help you find your way around so you don’t get missing. Some locations are difficult to find even though there are maps. Again, if you are someone who needs some alone time in a car or needs a lot of privacy to go about your dealings then a self-drive car is the best for you. You may want to avoid a chauffeur getting into your business or interfering. There are usually high profile people who may want to keep a low key and would want to hire a simple car. A disadvantage of a self-drive car is that, if there is a dent in the car or a fault occurs, you would be liable to pay for it. But if you hire the car rental company driver, all faults will be taken care of. Another advantage of a self-drive car is the availability of an extra seat. The number of people travelling in a car may be more than the number of seats in the car, hence the extra seat will be needed. The chauffeur’s seat can be occupied by one of the people travelling. Another disadvantage is the fact that many car rental companies limit the type of car you can choose if you choose to self-drive. There are certain cars that will not be rented out to you. They also come along with lots of strict rules. The good news is that if you want to self-drive without facing any of the challenges mentioned then the best self-drive car rental company is Frimprince.
