Car Hire with SOLO

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

To avoid any additional charges, ensure you return the rental car at the agreed time. Review the scheduled return time to prevent any unexpected surprises.

Some rentals impose mileage caps, while others offer unlimited mileage. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected fees at the end of your rental.

Check if the rental agency offers additional items such as GPS units or child safety seats. These can enhance your trip but may incur additional costs, so plan accordingly.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Note that certain rental companies have age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy before booking.

Take the time to read the rental agreement carefully. Understanding the terms will help you avoid surprise fees and facilitate a smooth rental experience.
