Car Rental in Auchenflower, Brisbane, Australia

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.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.

Before leaving the rental location, check that the vehicle is stocked with essential emergency supplies such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.

Some rentals have mileage limits, while others provide unlimited options. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected charges upon return.

Inquire with the rental service about any local driving risks or specific road conditions. Being informed can help you navigate potential challenges during your journey.

Make sure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are accessible throughout your rental period for easy retrieval if needed.

Ensure you are aware of the roadside assistance included with your rental. This information is crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies.
