Question 6

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.

However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

It’s a good idea to confirm with the car hire company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Question 9

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at 大津?

Accepted Answer

If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.
