Accepted Answer

All rental companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your rental request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international rentals for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for rentals abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by buying Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website or opting for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter.

Question 6

Can someone else drive my rental car?

Accepted Answer

For insurance coverage to remain valid, any additional drivers must be included in your rental agreement. If someone who is not listed drives the car, it could void the rental contract, and the insurance provider may refuse to cover any damage to the vehicle.

Question 7

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
