Taking trips with little kids has all kinds of challenges. If you plan to travel to Hawaii by plane and rent a car for example, you have to make decisions about whether to rent the baby equipment you need, bring it on the plane with you, or buy it once you arrive. Sometimes the car seat and stroller rental Maui businesses offer is a good idea and other times it makes more sense to do something else.
One of the easiest ways to rent baby equipment is to add it into the cost of your rental car. You should do this at the time you make your reservations. Car agencies typically charge a fee of eight dollars to fifteen dollars a day for the equipment. They often have discounts to offer customers who are renting for an extended period of time. There is at least one company that will give Triple A members one free seat with every reservation.
Parents who consider using the agency's equipment say the seats they see are pretty basic. The agencies offer safety guarantees. You are depending on the credibility and integrity of the individual business however.
You can get a written guarantee from one of the major leasing companies. The guarantee states that the company only purchases equipment that meets or exceeds federal and state regulations. It also states each leasing office inspects seats for defects and missing parts. The seats are supposedly stored in plastic bags to keep them in the best possible condition.
You never want to choose quick over safe, but as long as you have inspected the equipment and feel it's safe, renting might be the most economical and convenient option. This is especially true when you will be using the rentals for just a few days and don't want the hassle of taking your own seats with you.
When renting a vehicle isn't in the plan, or you don't like the idea of renting equipment from one of these companies, there are businesses that rent equipment in certain cities. The cost will run anywhere from ten to sixty dollars a day. They often have a better selection of brands and sizes than the car rental agencies. This can be a good option for a quick trip, but you have to weigh the daily fee with what is would cost to buy a brand new seat if you are on an extended trip.
Sometimes it makes more economic sense to buy something when you get to your destination. What to do after you get off the plane, but before you have a seat can be a problem. Parents who have done this suggest renting a car with a seat and heading for the nearest big box store. You can buy what you need there and install it.
Once you have the equipment installed, you can return the rental to the leasing company. You will have to pay for a day's rent, but it will be worth it. If you own a car seat stroller combination, it can make a lot more sense to bite the bullet and bring it along with you.
