Car Hire with Reliant

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.

Some rentals impose mileage caps, while others offer unlimited mileage. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected fees at the end of your rental.

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

Some agencies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the terms, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means returning at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before booking, read the rental agreement carefully for any hidden charges, such as airport fees, extra driver costs, or late return penalties. Awareness is key to budgeting.

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.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
