Car Hire with CICAR

If you plan to have another person drive, confirm if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are any additional fees. Some may provide complimentary additional drivers under certain conditions.

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.

Research any toll roads along your travel path and understand their payment methods. Some rental firms provide toll transponders for added convenience.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Some agencies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the terms, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.

Select a car known for fuel efficiency to save costs during your rental period. This choice can significantly lower your overall travel expenses.

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.
