If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

Some companies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Understand the conditions, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

If you're traveling with pets, verify the rental company's pet policies beforehand. While some allow pets, there might be specific fees or limitations.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Take time to read the rental agreement carefully. Understanding the terms can help you avoid unexpected fees and ensure a smooth rental process.

Check if the rental company provides extras such as GPS devices or child seats. These can enhance your experience but may come with added fees, so plan accordingly.
