Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

Select a car with good fuel efficiency to save money during your rental. This can significantly reduce your overall travel expenses.

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.

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

Before leaving the rental lot, check if the vehicle has essential emergency supplies, such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often more economical than paying rental company rates.
