Before you drive away, inspect the rental car for existing damage and ensure it is recorded. Taking photos can help prevent disputes upon return.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

To prevent incurring extra charges, return the rental vehicle at the specified time. Always check the scheduled return time to avoid any surprises.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

Ensure you are aware of the roadside assistance included with your rental. This information is crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.
