10 Reasons Why Prepaying for Gas is Never a Good Deal

Image
Summer vacation means it's road-trip time! These days, with gas prices again on the rise, saving money at the pump is on every road-tripper's mind. "Want to fill the car up for 10 cents cheaper than local pump price?" the rental sales agent asks as he points to a sign showing a nice, cheap per-gallon price. Sounds like a good deal, no? As with  everything  in the rental car industry, there's a catch. Here are six reasons to think twice about prepaying that tank: 1. You're trusting them on the tank size.

It pays to get the right amount of coverage, whether it’s the cheapest package or not. The Simple Dollar’s Top Pic...
