Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

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.
