What affects the price

Booking in advance usually saves you money, while last-minute requests or extending your trip can push costs higher. The type of car matters too; choosing a compact model is generally cheaper than a large SUV or luxury vehicle. Insurance coverage and adding extra drivers also adjust your final bill.
