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.

Ask the rental agency about any specific local driving challenges or conditions. This can help you prepare for potential difficulties during your journey.

Check if the rental company provides extras such as GPS devices or child seats. These can enhance your experience but may come with added fees, so plan accordingly.

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 lot, inspect the vehicle for any pre-existing damage and ensure it’s recorded. Taking photos can help avoid disputes upon return.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental agency whether it's permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

Some companies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Understand the conditions, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.
