Car Hire with Prime Car Rent

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Before making a rental, check if your personal auto insurance covers rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards provide this protection, helping you save on extra insurance fees.

When evaluating insurance, consider options that include free excess coverage, meaning you won’t pay a deductible for damages, offering additional reassurance.

Ensure you understand the roadside assistance that comes with your rental. This information is vital in case of breakdowns or emergencies.

If you have a particular vehicle model in mind, choose rentals that guarantee the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup when you receive a different vehicle.

Choose a pickup location that’s easy for you to access. Many rental firms have spots at airports for quick retrieval, while others might require shuttle transport.

Prior to finalizing your reservation, check for any promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early bird rates.
