Book Cheap AVIS Car Hire Deals in Schwanheim, Frankfurt, Germany

Before leaving the rental lot, check if the vehicle has essential emergency supplies, such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

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

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.

Before you book, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Awareness helps in budgeting appropriately.

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.

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.

Most car rental companies will ask for a credit card deposit, which is usually held temporarily. Inquire about the specific deposit amount and the process for releasing it once the rental is complete.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.
