Question 10

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.

For car hire in Ballina station, a valid passport is generally required for international customers. Domestic renters typically only need a valid driver’s license. In the United States and Canada, residents usually need just a valid driver’s license to rent a vehicle. In Europe, EU residents can often use their home country driver’s license. However, identification requirements can vary by country and region, so it's always a good idea to check with the rental company for specific details before you travel.
