Save Your Time, Money and Stress with Savvy (懂行,悟性)Rental Car Strategies
Renting a car can be expensive, confusing, and stressful — but it doesn't have to be. Here are several helpful strategies to save money, time, and stress on your next (and every) car rental.
Sign Up for Loyalty Programs
Rental car loyalty programs are free to join, so register for any programs you might use in the future. My favorite car rental loyalty program benefit is that I can skip the counter and head right to my reserved car. Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool.
Optimize Your Strategy
Do you really need a rental car from the airport? For instance, if your flight arrives at night, take a free hotel shuttle and pick up your car the next day. The car rental location might even be at your hotel or can pick you up (or deliver the car to you).
For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car. Research whether mass transit(运输), taxi, Uber, bike rental, and other transportation methods will suffice(足够). Parking charges at downtown hotels may cost more than your car rental rate, so it may be doubly in your favor to give up a rental car. In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car.
Search for Specials
In conjunction(结合)with your personal discount code, you may also find a last-minute rate, free rental day, or other promotion. My favorite annual travel deal is driving a car one-way out of Florida after Spring Break with rates as low as $1 per day.
Consider Alternative Rental Options
Major car rental companies might have an associated discount brand at your rental location, like Firefly for Hertz.
An independent or smaller local agency may fit your needs; like A1 or Lucky Owl in Honolulu. Many people prefer to check rates on Hotwire and Priceline, especially for last-minute rentals.
A.Rental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.
B.I use discount-finding websites to track my car reservations.
C.Smaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates.
D.In addition to saving time and offering freedom of choice, loyalty members earn points and receive special promotions.
E.Check car rental company websites for current specials.
F.Skip the Car
G.Use a bike
【答案】D;A;F;E;C
【解析】本文介绍节省你的时间、金钱和压力与精力的租车策略。
(1)D根据上文Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool. 一些程序允许成员从可用共同资金中选择一辆汽车。从这里得知“有了汽车会节省时间”。可知下文的意思应该是:除了节省时间,并提供选择的自由,忠诚成员赚取积分,并获得特殊的促销活动。D项符合题意。
(2)A根据上句:租车位置可能甚至是在你的酒店或可以接你。可知下句应该和租车有关,A.Rental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.离开机场出租率可能较低,此外,你可能会节省一个整个租赁日的成本。可知A项符合题意。
(3)F此空是一个小标题。根据下文内容:For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car.对一个城市旅行,你甚至不需要一辆出租汽车。to give up a rental car. 放弃一辆出租车。In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car. 在一些位置,一辆自行车可能比一辆汽车更有效、更经济。可知F.Skip the Car符合题意,故选F。
(4)E根据下句:结合您的个人折扣代码,您还可以找到最后一分钟的价格,免费的租赁日,或其他促销。也就是寻找特价。可知此空的意思是:检查汽车租赁公司的网站当前特价。故选E。
(5)C根据上句:主要的汽车出租公司在你的租赁地可能有一个相关的折扣品牌。在根据空格下句:一个独立或较小的地方机构可以满足你的需要。可知C.Smaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates. 较小的品牌,像Thrifty and Fox,可能会提供更好的服务和较低的利率。故选C。
