Car Hire with Stern

If you plan to have another person drive, confirm if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are any additional fees. Some may provide complimentary additional drivers under certain conditions.

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.

If your travel plans involve different pick-up and drop-off locations, Stern offers convenient one-way hires. This flexibility allows you to explore without the hassle of returning to your original pick-up site, making your journey more enjoyable.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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.

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.

Be sure you know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
