How to Rent a Mercedes-Benz Online

Giancarlo Perlas May 31, 2018

According to TrueCar.com, the price of a brand new Mercedes-Benz starts at $34,475. Even if it is an entry-level model, the cost can still be too much for one’s pocket. It’s not surprising since luxury cars are not sold cheap, so expect to shell out big bucks to own one.

But there will be cases where you have to rent a Mercedes-Benz, whether it’s for a wedding or an anniversary. In this case, you need to look for vehicles for lease. What better way to search for one than scouring the Internet for the best deals?

Don’t know where to start? Here are some of the most important tips to remember.

1. Set Your Budget

Before you can set out looking for the car you would like to rent out, you will need to know the amount you are willing to spend. For this, you need to determine the length of time you will be using the vehicle. Of course, it wouldn’t be practical to pay a higher price if you are just going take a Benz out for a few hours. What’s more, once you have your budget in check, you can determine the model that fits.

2. Choose a Model

There are different models for different purposes. If you want one for a wedding, you can rent out an S-class that provides extra comfort for groom and bride. For going on a night out with friends, a G-class has all the features available to give any Saturday night a sophisticated look. If you are still not sure which car model to get, you might want to read online blogs for the best options.

3. Compare Prices

Now that you have an idea about the model to rent out, you are now ready to shop online for the Mercedes-Benz of your dreams. With thousands of listings online, finding one that’s right for your budget could take ages. For this reason, you might want to get good advice to get the most value for your money. There are tons of websites that offer nifty tools renters can use to make informed decisions. In the UK, car lease comparison site LeaseFetcher offers an easy way to find the right cars for the right value.

4. Contact a Broker

In terms of negotiating deals with the original owner, you will need to depend on a car lease broker to help you with striking up workable terms. Another advantage of contacting a broker is time management. Most renters — and even buyers — don’t have the luxury of time for undergoing the transaction process. Brokers, in this sense, can help by simplifying the process. It is only a matter of researching the broker you are dealing with and knowing whether he or she has the required credentials to represent the original owner.

5. Review the Contract

Now that you have earmarked a Mercedes-Benz for your needs, signing a contract would be the last thing that gets in the way. But before you can place your initials on the page, take a few more minutes to review the contract. Remember: verbal negotiations are not final because whenever a problem arises, both you and the original owner will need refer back to what’s stipulated in the contract. Extra discretion is required.
