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.

If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

Take time to understand the vehicle's controls and features before hitting the road. Familiarity with essential functions like lights, wipers, and navigation can enhance safety.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Ensure your rental agreement, ID, and insurance details are easily accessible throughout your rental period for quick access if needed.

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