To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage.

Additionally, proof of insurance or the option to purchase insurance coverage from the rental company may be required. Insurance options can vary by location, so it's important to verify the details with the rental company ahead of time. Be sure to review any additional documentation or requirements specific to the car hire location.

Question 4

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 5

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. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
