Car Hire with AMEX

Before leaving, check the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Confirm that features like the radio and air conditioning are operational.

Note that certain rental companies have age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy before booking.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.

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.

If you need a vehicle for an extended period, AMEX offers discounts for long-term hires. This means you can save significantly on your car hire while enjoying the flexibility to explore your destination at your own pace.

Before departing the rental lot, ensure the vehicle contains essential emergency items like a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

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.
