To those that do not own a car, you will agree with me that the best way to travel and enjoy your trip is to hire a cab. If you are in Lagos Nigeria and you have entered the public transport to any part of the city you will know that the best way to be comfortable is to hire a cab.
The use of a chartered vehicle is not a new phenomenon. You may need it when you are going to the airport, shopping, going for vacation to any destination you cannot go with your car, sightseeing, to your workplace (Office) etc. the problem here now is how to book the best car that will meet your budget.

So today I will be sharing some of the tips that will help you hire any car without spending huge amount of money (that is almost free)
Search online
In all my articles, you will found out that I always make reference to online research. The reason why I said so is that the world is going global and if you don’t catch the train now, you will pay dearly for it.
You can search online for cheap car hire companies. There are many cars hiring companies that are offering discounts. You can also see their different rates and also the kind of services they offer.
Go for the less expensive cars
In order to cut down cost, I would advise you go for the less luxurious cab, this will help reduce cost. The price of a cab when traveling in a group is usually high because you will need a bigger car and if you go for the expensive car it might affect your budget.
Booking in advance
Just like in the airline industry, some of the car hiring company also has a portal where clients can book for cabs and other services. The earlier you book the better, as some of them offer discounts and reduce costs for early birds.
Avoid rental insurance
Car hiring companies also offer rental services. Some will even insist you go for it. In order to reduce cost and avoid paying extra don’t go for it. It is advisable you avoid it.
Join the company’s club
Joining the company club is the easiest and the best way of getting a discount and cheap rate. It is advisable you join a cab hiring company’s club to get the best deal and some other services that are exclusive to the members only.
