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.

Some companies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Understand the conditions, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.

Ask the rental agency about any specific local driving challenges or conditions. This can help you prepare for potential difficulties during your journey.

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.

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.

If you're looking for extra comfort or features, ask about upgrade options at the rental counter. Often, discounted upgrades are available at pickup.

Note that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy when booking.
