In the early years, the car hire business was related to criminal activity- especially during the period of prohibition in the United States. Many people believed that the cars were used by bootleggers and thieves. After 1933 the ban was gone, the industry grew and gained a respectable reputation. Then it even became popular in Brazil! When you get at Florianopolis – Airport, you will be good to go!
Industry factsThe car hire industry then began to operate at railway stations where free service offered to telegraph that customers could rent a car more easily. But the real growth of the industry was at the end of World War II. Many independent companies united in large companies like National to compete and provide better service. This extended to many airports like the Florianopolis – Airport.
From the 60's until now the price and advertising war has not stopped and this type of rental has been linked more closely to the commercial aviation industry.
Tips to keep your car (whether you rent or own the car)If you rent a car, you should not lend it to anyone. Note that the more people you manage your car, you have less control and care, nobody cares for the things of others as their own. Always remember that even if it is a car hire you'll have to return it in the same condition as when it was handed to you. In addition:
- Check your car often to ensure it does not lack for water in the radiator because the lack of water can cause your car to overheat seriously, which would cause permanent damage to the engine and will be a very costly repair. As in the previous section, although it is a rental car you'll have to return in the same conditions as you it was given to the time of rental.
- Check your car tempts the correct oil level (engine, steering and transmission should be automatic), since the lack of this causes friction between metals which would cause damage to the engine or transmission.
- Check the battery in your car to make sure it will not dry because it lacks liquid itself, life is drastically reduced.
- Tune the car hire vehicle every time the service manual tells you, as well the life of your car is not affected and will last longer. The advantage in case of renting a car is that you returned it tuned and ready for use, and not have to worry about this point.
The engine of your car should not dry out or else it may become loose or turned out to be in poor condition, specific damage can get you in trouble. For instance, if power steering fails, you may have no self control and this is very dangerous. In case of the band of the water pump, the engine can overheat. As a final tip, change the engine oil to prevent viscosity loss and stop lubricating the engine of your car. If you are renting the car, do not worry about this point. Luckily, the top car hire company at Florianopolis – Airport will deliver it in good condition.
