It’s worth trying the rental cars first
You usually rent a car if you cannot use your own for some reasons – holiday by plane, moving house, or the maintenance of the car. Few people think of that however, that a rented car is not obviously the same as their own car which they are used to. If the made is different as well you can be sure that you need to drive it in a different way. And even if it is the same made, all those who drove the car before you have different style. So it is worth testing the car before renting.
At most of the rental companies you can test the cars
Most rental companies will let you make a test drive before renting the car exactly for the reasons mentioned above. Thus you can see if you are comfortable with driving the chosen car and if it fits your style at all. It is quite inconvenient if you realize too late on a long trip that driving the car is uncomfortable. Such a realization can completely ruin the trip and the whole holiday so it is really worth trying it first.
Safety is higher if you know the car
It is always more dangerous to drive an unknown car. Size is one of the most important factors; if the car is bigger than the one that you are used to, you will need some time to get used to it. So it is not a waste of time to test the car before renting it as a test round can give a lot to a safe trip!
