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.

If you're traveling with pets, verify the rental company's pet policies beforehand. While some allow pets, there might be specific fees or limitations.

Before you return the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can make the process easier.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Munich, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these 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.
