Before you return the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can make the process easier.

Understanding your insurance options is essential when renting a vehicle. Choose coverage like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to safeguard your finances in case of an incident. Always confirm the required protection with the rental company.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

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