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.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

If you're traveling with pets, verify the rental company's pet policies beforehand. While some allow pets, there might be specific fees or limitations.

Understanding your insurance options is essential when renting a vehicle. Choose coverage like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to safeguard your finances in case of an incident. Always confirm the required protection with the rental company.
