Car Hire with Stern

Before returning the car, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the vehicle and any necessary inspections can ease the process.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means returning at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

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.

Hiring with Stern often includes flexible cancellation policies, allowing you to change your plans without incurring penalties. This feature provides peace of mind, ensuring you can book your car hire confidently and adjust as needed.

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.

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