Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often more economical than paying rental company rates.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

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.

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.

Before you book, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Awareness helps in budgeting appropriately.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Before leaving the rental lot, inspect the vehicle for any pre-existing damage and ensure it’s recorded. Taking photos can help avoid disputes upon return.
