Hiring a Car in Charleston: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Charleston

Fuel Policies: Full-to-Full vs. Same-to-Same

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.
Choose the right fuel policy

Thoroughly review rental terms

Before booking a car hire in Charleston, carefully examine the terms from suppliers like Ace, AVIS, and Alamo. Focus on details such as payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel rules, and driving licence specifications to avoid unexpected issues.
Check car hire conditions to avoid surprises

Check Your Personal Insurance

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.
Use personal insurance to save costs

Explore Car Sharing Options

For short trips, car-sharing services may be more economical and flexible.
Consider shared vehicles for convenience

Plan for Additional Drivers

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
Understand fees for multiple drivers

Avoid Peak Hours

Driving during rush hour can lead to delays; try to avoid these times.
Plan your driving schedule wisely

Stay Informed About Local Driving Laws

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.
Research driving regulations in your area

Check for Promotional Offers

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