Car Rental Discounts for Seniors (Comprehensive Guide)

best car rental discounts for seniors

Per kilometer plan: With this type of plan, customers are charged based on how far they travel.

Daily rental

Customers who choose this type of plan get charged per day. Rental companies have a specific distance that is fixed, and if that distance is driven in one day, then the customer is charged for the following day. For people renting a car for one night at least, this is a very common type of plan that is used.

Two-day rental plans

This is another popular plan. Individuals spending their weekends outside of the city like this plan the best.

Long term plans

Depending on what the customer’s requirements and usage are, there are some rental companies that offer yearly, monthly, and weekly plans. If you will be driving long-distance, there are unlimited mileage plans that are available.

Corporate Plans These are special plans that are offered to corporate customers. There are often discounts on these plans.

Car Classes That Can Be Rented

The following are different car classes that can be rented:

Economy cars

These are best suited for downtown areas where parking spaces are limited and there is a lot of traffic. The Mitsubishi Mirage is an example of a typical economy car that is offered by rental companies.

Compact cars

These vehicles offer great gas miles and also are very easy to drive. One typical example of a compact car that is used by rental companies is the Nissan Versa.

Mid-sized cars

This includes cars such as the Hyundai Elantra. Here the focus shifts to preference and style instead of gas mileage. The vehicles have more room for passengers and luggage than small cars do.

Full-size cars

When more trunk space and legroom are needed, they choose a full-size car such as a Toyota Camry as a top option.

Premium cars

These cars offer plenty of comfortable seating and luggage room. Business travelers tend to prefer premium cars, such as ones offered by Nissan.

Luxury cars

These cars have high-performance engines, rich interiors, and plenty of space for passengers and luggage. A Ferrari is an example of a luxury car.

Convertible cars

People often rent a convertible such as the Ford Mustang to enjoy their journeys in the most stylish way possible. They are fun to drive in places like the deserts of the Southwest or along the PacificCoast Highway.

Premium Elite cars

Vehicles that fall into this category include the Audi A6. People who like renting an Audi or Rolls Royce tend to be customers who love traveling in a premium elite car where things like mileage and space are not important to them.
