Question 1

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 2

Can I hire a van in Cuenca?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can hire a van in Cuenca. Rental companies typically offer a variety of vans to suit different needs, including compact vans for city driving, mid-size vans for medium loads or small groups, large cargo vans for moving big items, and passenger vans that can accommodate up to 12-15 people.

Question 3

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be authorised by the hire company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 4

Can under 25s hire cars in Cuenca, Cuenca

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Cuenca station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the rental company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

It’s a good idea to confirm with the car hire company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Service animals are an exception and are allowed in the vehicle without a carrier. For specific details on the pet policy, it's best to check with the rental company before your trip.

Question 11

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Cuenca?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Cuenca, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 12
