Car Hire with Haste Car Rental

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.

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.

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 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.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

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.
