Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

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.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
