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 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.

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.

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