Question 1

Can I rent a car from at Austin and drop off at another location?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some car hire companies allow you to pick up your car from Austin and drop it off at a different location. Simply unselect 'Return to same location' when you search your deals with VoyageCopilot.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when renting a car at Austin?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car at Austin, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. 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.

Question 4

What are the most popular car brands rented at Austin?

Accepted Answer

At Austin, the top car brands frequently chosen by renters include Volkswagen Jetta, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Edge, Nissan Pathfinder, and Tesla. These models are popular for their dependability and comfort, whether you're planning a quick trip or an extended journey.

Question 5

Why is a Credit Card required for car hire at Austin?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car at Austin, a credit card is typically required to secure your reservation and cover any potential surcharges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel. Major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover are accepted for this purpose. The credit card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure financial responsibility for the vehicle. While some locations may accept debit cards, they often require additional documentation or a credit check. For a hassle-free hire experience, it's advisable to use a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.

Question 6
