Evaluating your insurance options is essential when renting a car. Look into Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for added financial protection. Always clarify coverage requirements with the rental service.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
