car reservationsGetting car reservations at off-airport locations is easy in big cities, and it sure beats picking one up at a crowded airport if you need to rent a car for any reason. Sometimes you need to rent a car when yours is in the shop, or you need a car to drive a client around, and yours won't cut the mustard. Getting last minute car reservations at small lot car rental companies is usually possible, but if you absolutely need that car, make your reservations well ahead of time so that they can make sure your vehicle will be there. These satellite car rental lots can offer much more personal service than the heavily staffed rental agencies at airports, so if you tell the person who is taking your reservation how important that it is that the car be there on time, chances are they will go to an extra measure to make sure that it is. Sometimes when you call the 800 number to make the car reservations, you will talk to someone who is just a reservation clerk in a call center. Call the satellite office directly, and make your car reservations with them.
