Before you book, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Awareness helps in budgeting appropriately.

Many rental firms prefer credit cards and may not accept debit cards for payment. If you're using a debit card, confirm the company's policies before making a reservation.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Most car rental companies will ask for a credit card deposit, which is usually held temporarily. Inquire about the specific deposit amount and the process for releasing it once the rental is complete.

Ask the rental agency about any specific local driving challenges or conditions. This can help you prepare for potential difficulties during your journey.

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.

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.

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.
