Rhinocarhire: The Benefits of Adding an Additional Driver to Your Car Hire Booking

OPTIONAL EXTRAS WITH RHINOCARHIRE:  ADDING AN ADDITIONAL DRIVER

  1. Sharing the Driving Duties: Adding an additional driver allows you to share the driving duties, reducing fatigue and making long journeys more manageable. It can also provide an opportunity for each driver to take breaks and enjoy the scenery, leading to a more enjoyable and relaxed trip for everyone.

  2. Flexibility and Convenience: Having multiple drivers registered on the rental agreement offers flexibility in case one driver becomes tired or unavailable. It also allows for more freedom in planning your itinerary, as different drivers can take turns behind the wheel based on their preferences and schedules.

  3. Cost-Effective Option: Contrary to popular belief, adding an extra driver to your car hire booking doesn't always come with hefty additional fees. Many car rental companies offer reasonable rates for adding supplementary drivers, especially if they are family members or traveling companions. It's essential to check the terms and conditions of your rental agreement to understand any associated costs upfront.

  4. Safety and Peace of Mind: Sharing the driving responsibilities with another competent driver can enhance safety during your journey. Having a backup driver can be especially valuable in unfamiliar locations or when navigating challenging road conditions. With an additional driver on board, you can feel more confident and secure, knowing that you have support in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

  5. How to Add an Additional Driver: Adding an extra driver to your car hire booking is typically a straightforward process. When requesting a quote, select the car your are interested in hiring then just go to `Optional Extras' to add an additional driver(s) and provide their details, including their full name, driver's license information, and any other required documentation. Most of our rental companies charge a fee for adding supplementary drivers and this will be clearly displayed.

Before finalizing your car hire booking with Rhinocarhire, it's essential to review the Important Information section for the particular vehicle you are interested in hiring. This section will outline any additional costs, terms, and conditions associated with adding an extra driver to your rental agreement. By familiarizing yourself with this information beforehand, you can make an informed decision and ensure a smooth and hassle-free rental experience.
 

In conclusion, adding an additional driver to your car hire booking offers numerous benefits, including sharing the driving duties, flexibility, convenience, and enhanced safety. Be sure to check the terms and conditions of your rental agreement and review the Important Information section for any additional costs or requirements. With careful planning and consideration, adding an extra driver can contribute to a memorable and enjoyable journey for all.
