Choosing a Supplier
KingRentalCars.com is a booking agency for many different rental car companies. Each supplier of rental cars operate under its own rules and standards when it comes to COVID-19. It is therefore important to consider what each supplier offers by way of protection against COVID-19. Here are some things to consider before you book:
- Does the supplier address COVID-19 on their website? Most rental car companies will explain what they do to protect their customers against contracting COVID. This is important.
- What commitment does the supplier you are considering make to cleaning and sanitising rental vehicles before each hire?
- How do they protect their own staff? For example, a caring company will use gloves, masks, sanitiser and frequent hand-washing as part of its protocols.
- What policy do they have for handling COVID-19 related cancellations?
