Before hiring a car in Charleston, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Thrifty. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

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.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.
