Car Hire with Stern

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.

Ensure you understand the roadside assistance that comes with your rental. This information is vital in case of breakdowns or emergencies.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Prefer to collect your car at the airport? Want to be greeted by Stern staff? Or would you rather take a shuttle to the pick-up site? Stern offers various options tailored to your travel preferences.

Before finalizing your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be invaluable if your travel plans unexpectedly change.

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

If your travel plans involve different pick-up and drop-off locations, Stern offers convenient one-way hires. This flexibility allows you to explore without the hassle of returning to your original pick-up site, making your journey more enjoyable.
