Sometimes when you travel, it’s just not practical to take public transportation. Maybe you have lots of attractions to visit on your trip or you are on a business trip that calls for you to be at specific places at particular times. Then renting a car becomes necessary. Here are some of the easiest ways to get the best deal possible.

Once you reserve a car, you are not usually locked into the rate at the time you booked. Rates can go up or down between the time you book it and the time you actually pick up your car. If they go down, you can always cancel and rebook with no penalty.

Weekly rates are sometimes much better than those if you booked each day separately and often even more affordable than a four- or five-day rental.

If you reserve an economy car and they don’t have any when you get there, they have to give you the next available size up at the same rate. If all they have at the time is a luxury car, they have to rent it to you. The other upside to renting a smaller car is that it will cost you less in fuel.

If you have insurance at home, it’s likely you are covered in any car you drive, whether you own it or not. Check with your personal insurance company before you leave home and then tell the rental car company you don’t need their optional insurance.

It’s probable that you won’t know where you’re going when you travel to a new destination. If you have a personal GPS, bring it instead of renting one from the company. It will save you quite a bit of money.

It’s very common for the car rental company to charge you over a dollar more per gallon than what is charged at the pump. And no matter how much gas you return with, you will be made to pay as if the tank was empty. Tell the receptionist that you will return the car with a full tank and then ask where the nearest station is, so you can take note to stop there upon your return.

Airports impose a rental fee to car companies, which they then pass onto the customer. If it is possible to rent off-site, compare pricing to see if there is a notable difference.

六、书面表达

One possible version:

Cultural differences do exist in every corner of the world, where the same behavior often carries totally different meanings when we socialize with people. The four experiences above are typical examples.

It’s not uncommon to witness people’s living habits, values along with customs, which vary widely throughout the world, have led to cultural misunderstandings. Take greetings as a case in point, Chinese people tend to say ‘Have you eaten yet?’, while in western countries, topics are always related to occupations, families, weather and so on. What’s more, when receiving compliments from others, foreigners usually show their gratitude with a smile. However, Chinese never fail to pretend to be humble, with a ‘Just so-so’ in response, which is also a convincing proof of cultural differences.

When we are caught in a dilemma to communicate with foreigners, it’s high time that we hold an open mind to embrace different cultures, where, in turn, a critical eye is also needed. We ought to select the good essence of foreign cultures rather than blindly copy them. In short, it’s everyone’ efforts towards the fusion of cultures that minimize the gap between people.
