If you're traveling with pets, check the rental agency’s pet policy. Some companies allow pets, but additional fees or specific conditions may apply.

Prior to booking, read through the rental agreement thoroughly for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Being informed is essential for budgeting.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
