Check if the rental company provides extras such as GPS devices or child seats. These can enhance your experience but may come with added fees, so plan accordingly.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental agency whether it's permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
