Car Hire with Stern

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.

Before departing the rental lot, ensure the vehicle contains essential emergency items like a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

If you need a vehicle for an extended period, Stern offers discounts for long-term hires. This means you can save significantly on your car hire while enjoying the flexibility to explore your destination at your own pace.

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

Ask the rental agency about local driving hazards or specific conditions. This knowledge can help you prepare for potential challenges on your journey.

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

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.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
