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 more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

To prevent incurring extra charges, return the rental vehicle at the specified time. Always check the scheduled return time to avoid any surprises.

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

When looking at insurance, consider options with zero excess coverage, meaning you won’t need to pay a deductible for damages, providing extra peace of mind.

Before driving away, examine the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure features like the radio and air conditioning are working properly.
