Rent a car or order a transfer - a car with a driver. Cost comparison: which is cheaper for travelling abroad

What is often not taken into account in the cost of car rental

What we did not include in the calculation of the examples, and what needs to be considered. It is not a secret for anyone that while renting a car, you may face such unpleasant moments as paying for the damage. Even if the car was rented to you already with damage, and you did not notice it, you will have to pay for it. The cost of compulsory insurance may surprise you, and even more surprising if your driving experience is less than three years. Prepare a significant amount for making a deposit, or holding an amount on a bank card - you will not be given a car without a deposit. And, in addition to the above, for the entire time of using the car, you will always have the risk of paying fines that you can get while driving around unfamiliar terrain. Add to the expense item also payments for parking and parking, fuel and toll roads.

What is included in the cost of the car transfer service?

When ordering a transfer - a car with a driver, you do not need to rely on the above-mentioned costs: the Intui service cost is indicated in full and final. On the Intui website, in the description for the car, the full service is listed, included in the price of the trip. Necessary parking lots, toll roads, licenses - everything is included and no additional payment is required. If you have a need to stop by on the way, for example, to a store, you can add an extra hour to the trip and use the comfortable service.
