Car Hire with RPM

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.

Most rental agencies prefer credit cards and may have restrictions on using debit cards for payment. Always verify the payment methods accepted by the company before booking.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Before leaving, check the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Confirm that features like the radio and air conditioning are operational.

Be sure you know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.
