Wise Woman Continues Talking About Challenges, II
By Darlene Siddons
RESERVING your car: This can be one of the most important planning and arranging parts of your trip - so you want to take the time to make sure your needs are going to be met when you arrive at your destination.
YOU need to find out which car rental company has a kiosk at the airport near baggage pick up. There is usually only one or two companies inside the airport, the rest are in out laying areas of the airports - each airport is different - so to get to these out laying areas you need to take a shuttle and using these shuttles are a huge challenge for anyone with any sort of special needs.
SOME of the car rental companies will bring the car to you, however, you need to request this, they don’t offer it and/or advertise it. So this is part of your researching when you are looking for the company to rent from, not always is the least expensive rental the best and it could work the other way also, the most expensive the best, only your research will tell. Also don’t rely on a travel agent to handle this for you, as most of them don’t know how to this part and are able to get it handled for you, and will be at the airport “assuming” it will be the way you want it, and here it is, the first HUGE travel experience on long awaited dream vacation.
WHEN you have chosen your company to rent from, ask them for the direct number to the destination office, not a general number, all of this takes time and tenacity, and believe me it is worth it when you are in a busy airport and everyone is rushing around, and you have baggage, need to use the restroom and there isn’t anyone to help. So the more familiar you are with what they will do for you and have phone numbers and names, the easier it will be with less anxiety. Of course there is always a limo and if your budget allows for this, go that way.
IF you have lots of luggage and/or equipment, it may be best to get a Porter and they will help. I will be covering this more thoroughly and in more detail in another article. YOUR pre-planning on your rental car is very important, also cover where to drop the car off and make sure that also accommodates your needs. This is also VERY important, don’t skip this part.
