Question 1

What are the requirements for renting a car in Traverse City?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Traverse City, you must meet several key requirements. These include being at least 21 years old, presenting a valid driver’s license, and providing a major credit card (such as Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) for payment and security purposes. Additionally, proof of insurance or the option to purchase insurance coverage from the rental company may be required. Insurance options can vary by location, so it's important to verify the details with the rental company ahead of time. Be sure to review any additional documentation or requirements specific to the car rental location.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Traverse City?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Traverse City, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

What is the deposit amount for a car rental in Traverse City?
