When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
