Question 1

What should I do if I damage a car rental car in Puerto Princesa?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a rent car in Puerto Princesa, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when renting the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your rental agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 2

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your rental car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the rental company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your rental to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 7

Additionally, be aware that the deposit will be refunded to your card after the car is returned, provided there are no extra charges or damages.

Question 8

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
