Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

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.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

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.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Research any toll roads on your travel route and understand the payment options. Some rental companies provide toll transponders for convenience.

Before you finalize your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be helpful if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
