The beautiful city of Aarhus is one of the areas currently experiencing enviable growth in Denmark, and it attracts many tourists. One interesting practices here is the use of bicycles to move from place to place. This is encouraged in place of using cars to traverse the city. For this reason, you will find rent a bike services all over the place.
However, not everyone is open to the idea of riding bicycles through the city. If you are such a person, you have the option of using car hire services to get a personal car that you can use for the time you are in Aarhus.
Renting a car in a foreign country can be confusing, especially for those that are new to using rentals. For this reason, it is common for travelers to pay more money than they ought to for rental car services. The biggest reason for this is hidden charges in car hire contracts. Most travelers don’t read the fine print in their contracts or don’t bother to clarify the details in the contract with the rental company staff. They only realize their mistake when they get their rental car bills and find that they have incurred huge expenses that could have been avoided if only they understood their rental car contracts. To avoid such a scenario, here are two hidden charges to look out for:
Fuel surcharges
If you are a frequent traveler familiar with car hire services, you will have come across rental companies that overcharge customers on fuel charges. In most cases, the rental car charges are quite affordable, but they require the customer to pay for a full tank of gas upfront. They then ask the customer to return the car with an empty tank. If the customer returns the car with some gas in the tank, he/she doesn't get a refund for it, and the rental company benefits from the remaining gas. To avoid such a scenario, opt for a “full - full” fuel arrangement, where you get the car full and return it full, to avoid these ridiculous charges.
Tax and Airport surcharges
This happens when you rent a car from an airport car hire service. Many of them attach a surcharge for the use of the airport facilities to park the rental car. This is unnecessary because if you get a car from a local rental company with no affiliations to the airport, you will be able to avoid such charges and probably get a cheaper deal for the car.
These are two examples of hidden charges you can avoid when looking for affordable car hire services next time you visit Aarhus, via Aarhus Tirstrup Airport.
