Note that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy when booking.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

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.
