If you are looking for a particular service, you want the best quality available. Of course, you want to save as much money as possible as well but that isn’t always possible. Rarely would you see a service that is good with the cheapest price. As a business move, this makes perfect sense as good quality always translates to better work and consequently, more expensive price. If you really want something cheap, you may have to sacrifice quality and that may not be the best option. There are many times in which saving a few dollars is not worth due to the quality of the service you get. Sometimes, it’s just better to choose the more expensive ones to avoid headache in the future. But if you want to take a risk, you can always choose the cheapest option.
The reason I am discussing pricing is because for some people, choosing the cheapest option is their only option. Not a lot of people have disposable income and this means that saving an extra dollar here and there have huge impact on their financial situation. But as I’ve said before, the cheapest option is not always the best option. In most cases, quality beats affordability. Sure, there are many items in which you can choose the cheap option but for everything else, you are better off with the more expensive selection.
The same thing applies to renting a car. If you want something special, you need to pay a little more for it. If you are okay with something normal and average, you can opt for the cheapest option. When you consider the point of renting a car, which is to take you from point A to point B, it is easy to see why many people choose the cheapest option. Any car can take you from point A to point B regardless of their price, so why bother with the more expensive ones, right? To answer that truthfully, you need to consider some of the things listed below:
• Comfort
• Fuel economy
• Space
• Safety features
• Entertainment system
• Capacity
• Ease of access and more
Basically, all of those things listed above is included the in the most expensive options. Not only will it get you from point A to point B, but will do so in a more comfortable, relaxed, and easy manner. These are the extra features that you pay for when you rent a more expensive car. You get better seats, climate control, entertainment system, top of the line safety features, and many more. If you can live without these, you can go with the cheap option. However, for some people what values comfort as much as anything, getting the more expensive ones isn’t entirely unwarranted.
In the end, choose the car that makes you happy without breaking the bank. If your finances can permit it, choose the one with extra features that you need for comfort. Otherwise, if you can’t afford it, stick with the cheap option, it can still get you to your destination and that is what matters after all.
