Before returning the car, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the vehicle and any necessary inspections can ease the process.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
