Question 3

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.

However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
