Renting a car for test drive
Posted on February 8, 2010
Deciding to buy a new car the first place takes the budget, that we have for the purchase. Depending on this budget we differ the parameter of the car – brand, class, extras, etc.
In case that one car will cost us few thousands, everyone will check the market in advance for sure and will expect to find a better offer for themselves. But there is always the question if the car we have chosen for ourselves is the best one and if it is going to meet our expectations. Of course every car agent will offer us the opportunity for a test drive, but there is a questionable again…Can few minutes to an hour to tell us all about the advantages and disadvantages and qualities of that car? Very often you will be offered test drive for 10-20 min. To really get to know the vehicle and decide that this is the proper car that you are willing to drive for years, this time is far not enough.
What should we do to make sure that the chosen car is the most proper one for us. An useful idea for this case is renting a car, the same as your model for couple of days. Renting a car we would like to buy can save us a lot of money and headaches. That is how the money spent for rent-a-car can be very well invested money.
When renting a car instead of the short test drive you can check much better you future car in and outside the city. That is a good way to check the real gas usage, to check how you well in the car in a traffic jam and long driving and if it is comfortable to park.

A lot of people are using the the rent-a-car service when they are far from their home and are not able to use their own car. This of course is a regular thing to do. There is a lot of other cases when rented car will do us an excellent job.
It is never useful to have a car park with cars of different Brant and class for different occasions. There is a lot of cases in each family when the usage of a new and luxury car is a necessity. It is clear that we can not buy a new car every time we have a different occasion.
Such an occasions are weddings, proms or getting baptised… For this occasions of our life we usually are using the most luxury and remembering vehicles. Very often we are checking with relatives and friends if they can land us their own car. But do our friend and relatives have last model cars or limos? There is why much better decision is to rent-a-car which is cheaper and easier.
Such services can and it desirable to be used in the business. In business meetings with a potentiometer partner who you would like to impress it is not too clever to arrive with your own casual car. One limousine will bring you not only prestige and respect, but also self confidence during the negotiations.
There is a lot of occasions that requires special presentation in your personal and business life. If you are willing to present yourself as you should you can refer to a representative of Autoitrade, who will make the best choice for you for sure.

Tranfer from the airport by rental car, taxi or bus?
Posted on January 29, 2010
Nowadays people are using the air transportation as of the big distances and the cheap fares. The question is, once arrived on the airport what transportation to take to our final destination. There is few choices – by bus, by taxi or scheduled transfer with a rent-a-car company. Of course we should not forget of the possibility a car to be delivered to us from a rent-a-car company at the airport.
Taking a bus from the airport can be interesting adventure. If we decide to take this transportation we need to know the time table as well as the bus stops in advance especially if we arrive late in the evening. If we eventually arrive during the day, after a long and exhausting flight and prefer to take the regular transportation we can find ourselves in a full bus for an hour as the airports are out of the city.
This really makes us think that we would like to use a car.
At the first site the easiest way to use a car is taking a taxi, that for sure we will find on the airport. Unfortunately the tariffs in Bulgaria are not equal everywhere and we get get into a situation when we will need to pay huge amount of money, few times more expensive than the real price of the service we get. This is extremely important for the foreign visitors in Bulgaria during the summer.
Together with the above two choices we have another opportunity – renting a car. But what do we do if we do not have a drivers license or if we need the vehicle to take us from and return us to the airport. In the services sphere there is a place for that as well. Rent-a-car companies in Bulgaria make transfers from and to the airport. The prices are fixed, the personnel is reliable and the car can be chosen by you. The more people are using the service the cheaper the transfer will be. It is good to check the company you trust in advance and no doubt its good to check Autotrade Bulgaria offers.
What is operative leasing – conditions and advantages?

The operative leasing is unknown way of renting a car. This is a way of long term new cars rentals. Most of the times the clients of this services are corporates, but there is a lot of cases when you will find private clients as well. Instead of buying a new car the client signs a contract for operative leasing and becomes the person to receive the lease or long-term car user.
Like with the regular lease, the client has to pay the monthly car instalments but in this case plus the once for renting the car. Depending on the car type the lease instalment can change. That is how the client uses a new car for the period of the signed contract and after this period he or she can receive a newer car again.
Bulgarian customers are not used of this kind of service. The long term car hiring has a lot of advantages, which the operative leasing offers. If you a company owner and would like to purchase a new car, signing an operative leasing contract will be more profitable for you, than paying a lease instalments. Besides, after the completion of the contract you are not engaged of selling the car as it stays for the company that has leased it to you. The maintenance as well as the car amortization as well will be also taken care of the same lease company.
Signing such a contract is possible for firms and for private customer. For both cases you will need to leave a deposit as a financial guarantee. The conditions of long-term car rental with Autotrade Bulgaria are even better for you. In case of a car damage, Autotrade will supply you with another car by the time your car is being fixed. After the end of the contract you have the opportunity to buy the car you might already are used of.
