Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be listed as an additional driver on your hire agreement. If someone who is not included in the agreement drives the vehicle, it may void the hire contract, and the insurance provider might refuse to cover any damage. To ensure coverage and avoid potential issues, make sure to register any additional drivers with the car hire company.

In Europe, you can usually hire a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the car hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.
