How do you find the right Car Hire

If you tried to hire a car, you’re sure to have encountered one of the common car hire scams they put to you – Full Payment upfront.

The local people would want to collect full payment upfront for the number of months you want to hire a car.

What happens after you hire a car? They will usually put all the cost of repairs, maintenance to you. They usually are not upfront with their policies or their conditions as you assume the way its hired, is the same as where you come from. Unfortunately, how they position themselves would be very vague and nothing too detailed.

Will you hire a car without insurance? 95% of the car population do not have any insurance secured on their vehicles. Any accidents are on the spot negotiations. If you end up getting the car you hire in any accident, you will be liable for any kind of damage.

Are you getting left hand drive or right hand drive car hire? When it comes to safety, 3rd world countries often is lagging behind world standards. If you drive a vehicle that is for the wrong side of the road, you will probably causing hazard or is a hazard to other road users. firstly, your lights blind the on coming traffic as manufactures often have their headlights pointed higher on one side. Usually a left and drive vehicle will have headlights pointed away from the left. Right hand driven cars have lights pointed away from the right. Hence, you tend to blind the oncoming traffic which is a hazard to other road users. This also causes a different blind spot and the perception of side clearance.

Is the Vehicle you hire road worthy for use? Many of us take for granted of our home maintenance schedule on our cars. Vehicles are very expense and are not open to foreigners to purchase. The average wage is about US$200.00 and hence to buy a vehicle, you would need to be well above average. Taxes are also high. So most vehicles are at least 10 years old. Are you getting a 10yr old vehicle for the price of a 5yr old car hire?

Why do you need to choose a reliable Car Rental?

When you rent a car in your home country, you would normal look for a reliable company to rent a vehicle from rather then some doggy company that offers cheap rates and old vehicles.

Benefits Of Airport Transfers

A couple of things that must be put into perspective and consideration to understand the benefits of Using Airport Transfers. Many people prefer buses, trains and some even find it interesting to hiring a car and drive on by their own.
The option of using an airport transfers are hardly discussed. Below are some of the benefits of using an Airport transfer when you arrive to Yangon.  

• No Train network in Yangon Airport

Firstly you have to understand that there Myanmar is a 3rd world country. It has not yet build the infrastructure to have a network of Trains leading from towns or suburbs and to their international airport. The only train network they have is from downtown to other major city in Myanmar.

• Is it safe? 

Is Yangon safer than any other country? By taking a taxi or bus let you feel safe, then you would need to observe at how taxi drivers and bus drivers drive in Yangon.  While using an Airport Transfer from Orica Car Rental, you are secure with the well trained driver in the car. Better then having taken the taxi from hell which is a case when you arrive in a country you know nothing about. In comparison to even trains and buses, making use of airport transfers is a safe method of travelling. These are some of the plentiful real benefits of travelling through the airport transfers while you are in a new or different country than yours. Another noteworthy point here is the airport transfers can also be used when you are travelling in your own country but by the air route.

• No waiting in the queues 

Unlike most of the other types of transportation services, the airport transfers does not make you wait for a very long time in the queues. They have a very easy to follow and use process in which you are required to book the airport transfer either beforehand or you can get them after reaching the airport as well. 

• No cost of fuels

When you drive using your own vehicle, you usually bear the fuel charges which are expensive in some of the countries. Using the airport transfers is therefore, a cheaper and more convenient option in case you are visiting a new place opr are returning to your own country from a trip. Just order the airport transfer and you are good to go! 

• An experienced driver 

An airport transfer has a driver that understand and has home advantage with the place including the direction, adventure spots and the timings of opening and shutting down of a particular place. Beats anyone to hire a car from the airport and driving by themselves, even with google map, Myanmar roads are not entirely correct and accurate to travel with.

• You can rest in peace

A lot of people are not very comfortable in the aeroplanes and they therefore, they get tired soon af5ter the flight lands. In that case, people do not find it a good option to travel by driving their own car. While in the case of airport transfers you can rest in the taxis while the driver takes you to your destination. 

• No paperwork or ticket system 

When you visit a new country and you plan to hire a car for driving, the procedure takes loads and loads of time, it isn’t just picking up the keys and driving straight towards your destinations. On the other hand public transports like buses and trains take a lot of time due to the ticket system. Both of these cases aren’t true when it comes to airport transfers. 

• No Parking Spaces

The city planning is currently very bad and messy as they are a 3rd world country and are developing into a better country. Currently, there are not enough parking spaces available for the number of vehicles registered to use in Yangon roads. Driving on your own would bring many sets of trouble while driving in a country place that you are not familiar with. Due to lack of parking and the hassle of parking, many tourist, business travelers and corporates decide that the best option is for airport transfers in Yangon

• GPS and Maps are not accurate

Depending on Google Maps in Myanmar would be dangerously to yourself and other road users. Because Myanmar roads are not updated and changed regularly, Many roads that are not passible by cars will lead you into a dead end with very little room for you to do a 3 point turn. You will be stuck heading in the wrong direction and in the wrong path of another road user.

To summarise, for those who are interested to know about the benefits of using airport transfers in Yangon, these reasons above are serious enough for you to book for the next airport transfer when you flying to Yangon the next time. Think of the name Orica Car Rental , and oricacars.com.
