When is it best to book a rental car?

With the arrival of summer, the desire to travel freely and discover charming corners of our country grows, perhaps far from the most crowded tourist circuits.

Umbria and Tuscany, with their rolling hills, historic villages, and food and wine excellence, are among the top destinations for those seeking an authentic and relaxing experience.

In this context, car rental proves to be a strategic choice for those who want to move independently, without the constraints of schedules or public transport.

But when is it really convenient to book a rental car?

When it comes to renting a car, the golden rule is to book as early as possible, especially with summer approaching. During high season periods such as June, July, and August, demand rises quickly and, as a result, rates tend to increase and the availability of the most requested vehicles decreases.

Booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance not only saves money, but also provides more options in terms of models, sizes, and features. This is particularly important for those looking for specific vehicles such as 9-seater vans, cargo vans, or family cars, which are often in high demand in tourist areas.

Places like Chiusi, CittĂ  della Pieve, Montepulciano, and San Casciano dei Bagni attract a large number of tourists each year, many of whom arrive by train and choose to pick up their car directly at the station or nearby. In these cases, booking in advance allows for a fast and stress-free pickup.

With Revirent24, booking in advance is simple and transparent. You can choose your vehicle online, indicate the pickup location, and, if needed, select the drop-off service in another city.

Last-minute rental: when does it make sense?

While booking in advance is almost always the best option, there are situations where last-minute rental can be a valid alternative.

For example, during low season or on weekdays, some agencies may offer discounted rates for last-minute bookings, especially to encourage vehicle turnover.

However, it's important to be aware of the possible limitations. With a last-minute booking:

  • The choice of vehicles is often limited, particularly for the most requested models like SUVs, 9-seaters, or automatic cars.
  • Rates can be higher, especially if demand is already high (e.g., on weekends or during local events).
  • Some additional services, such as drop-off in another city, may not be available or may require more time to arrange.

In these cases, Revirent24 stands out for its flexibility. Thanks to its proximity to Chiusi railway station and the presence of multiple offices in the area (including CittĂ  della Pieve, Montepulciano, and San Casciano dei Bagni), it's possible to find a solution even at the last minute, with 24/7 customer support for every need.

Last-minute can work, but it's advisable only under certain conditions and with the expectation of limited availability. For those with specific schedules or preferences, booking early remains the best strategy.

Peak periods of the year: summer, holidays, long weekends

As summer holidays or long weekends approach, car rental requests increase significantly. June, July, and August, along with holiday weekends such as late April, Ferragosto, or Christmas holidays, are the so-called "peak periods" for the car rental sector.

During these times, the combination of high demand and limited availability can lead to:

  • Higher prices compared to the seasonal average
  • Lower vehicle availability, especially for those seeking spacious models or vehicles with specific features
  • Greater logistical challenges for those needing extra services.

 

For this reason, if you plan to travel during one of these periods, it is strongly recommended to book well in advance. Not only do you save money, but you also have the chance to choose the vehicle best suited to your needs.

With Revirent24, for example, you can book cars, vans, or 9-seaters weeks in advance, selecting the most convenient pickup location and taking advantage of flexible options such as unlimited mileage and drop-off in different cities.

How to find the best deals?

Finding a good car rental price doesn’t just mean searching for the cheapest offer, but also understanding which conditions best match your travel needs.

One of the most appreciated aspects by customers today is flexibility, especially when it comes to payment methods and booking requirements.

With Revirent24, for example, you can rent a car even without a credit card, a feature not always available in this sector, and without undergoing complex CRIF checks, which can slow down or complicate the process. Additionally, Revirent24 accepts several payment methods: bank transfer, debit card, cash, or credit card, according to the customer's preference.

This openness allows a wider audience, including families, young travelers, or freelancers, to access a quality service without necessarily meeting all the requirements of large international companies.

To find the most convenient solution, we recommend:

  • Booking directly from the Revirent24 website to take advantage of offers available through official channels;
  • Comparing available vehicles based on rental duration (short, medium, or long term);
  • Checking for seasonal promotions, especially during summer months;
  • Considering useful extras for your trip, such as unlimited mileage or the possibility of pick-up and drop-off at different locations.

The goal is not just to spend less, but to get the most in terms of simplicity, transparency, and comfort.
