This guide will focus on those Rental Clerk jobs that allow workers to advise customers and help them with rental selections. Car Rental Agents rent cars to customers at airports, hotels, marinas, business parks or downtown locations. They usually work for large car rental companies with national and international operations. Some work closely with travel agencies, hotels and corporate offices and set up travel arrangements for customers. They talk with customers to help decide on the type of rental car, where the car will be picked up and returned, and the rental dates.
Agents figure out deposits and estimate charges.
They complete the rental contracts and explain the terms. They collect deposits and record customers' drivers licenses before arranging for deliveries and pick ups. They do a routine car inspection and explain any special features before giving the car to the customer. When the car is returned, agents add up and collect fees and may inspect the car and report any damages to management. Most Furniture Rental Consultants work in retail store rental departments or separate show rooms.
