Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Many rental firms prefer credit cards and may not accept debit cards for payment. If you're using a debit card, confirm the company's policies before making a reservation.

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.

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.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
