Question 1

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 2

Can I bring pets when renting a car in Germany?

Accepted Answer

In Germany, most hire agencies, including AVIS, Enterprise, , , and , allow pets in their vehicles. Some companies may require pets to be transported in carriers, and you will generally need to clean the car interior and remove any pet hair to avoid additional cleaning fees. Service animals are an exception and are allowed in the vehicle without a carrier. For specific details on the pet policy, it's best to check with the hire company before your trip.

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?
