Car Hire with Ecarent

Before leaving, check the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Confirm that features like the radio and air conditioning are operational.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Before departing the rental lot, ensure the vehicle contains essential emergency items like a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Before finalizing your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be invaluable if your travel plans unexpectedly change.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.
