Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

The Europcar fuel policy you select in Kota Kinabalu will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 8

Is it allowed for another person to drive my hired car?

To ensure insurance coverage, all additional drivers must be listed on your rental agreement. If someone drives the rental car without being added as an extra driver, the rental agreement will be voided, and the insurance company may not cover any damages to the vehicle.
