Question 1

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at Central Railway Station?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a car at Central Railway Station, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage.

Question 4

What should I do if I damage a hire car at Central Railway Station?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a hire car at Central Railway Station, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when hiring the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your rental agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 5

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
