Car Hire with Coastal Cars

If you're seeking extra comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Often, there are discounted upgrades available at pickup.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

To avoid any additional charges, ensure you return the rental car at the agreed time. Review the scheduled return time to prevent any unexpected surprises.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Before you drive off, inspect the rental car for any existing damage and ensure it's noted. Taking pictures can help avoid disputes upon return.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.
