When renting a car from Kuwait, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar, Sixt, Hertz,Budget, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

Before driving away from Kuwait , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.
