CAR RENTAL TIPS & TRICKS
» Booking online in advance can save a lot of money. Try

for a com-
parative overview of rental rates.
» Some major rental car companies are located several miles from the LMM air ter-
minal. Though most have shuttles, be sure they provide transportation to and from the
airport.
» Unlike in the US, many airport-based car-rental agencies are not open 24 hours. If
you have a late flight home, you'll have to arrange to drop off your car early, or pay
an expensive 'airport drop-off fee.'
» Larger companies will accept debit cards, but expect them to put at least a $500 hold
on your funds until the car is safely returned.
» If you rent a car from a major airport, it is possible to drop the car off at another
location for a small additional fee.
