Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Buffalo?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Buffalo, 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 2

Can I bring pets when renting a car in Buffalo?

Accepted Answer

in Buffalo, most rental agencies, including AVIS, Alamo, , , and , allow pets in their vehicles. Some companies may require pets to be transported in carriers, and you will generally need to clean the car interior and remove any pet hair to avoid additional cleaning fees. 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 3

What are the requirements for renting a car in Buffalo?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Buffalo, you must meet several key requirements. These include being at least 21 years old, presenting a valid driver’s license, and providing a major credit card (such as Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) for payment and security purposes. Additionally, proof of insurance or the option to purchase insurance coverage from the rental company may be required. Insurance options can vary by location, so it's important to verify the details with the rental company ahead of time. Be sure to review any additional documentation or requirements specific to the car hire location.

Question 4

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Buffalo?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car at the airport is a convenient option that allows you to drive directly to the city centre of Buffalo and explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you can use airport shuttle services, public transport like buses or trains, or take a taxi or rideshare service for a direct connection.

Question 5

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 7

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

The car hire contract in Buffalo includes essential details such as the rental terms and conditions, insurance coverage options, and payment information. It specifies the rental duration, any additional services requested (like GPS or child seats), and policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for extra drivers. The contract also covers procedures for vehicle return, responsibilities for any damages, and the required identification, such as a valid driver’s license and credit card. Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your rental agreement.

Question 8

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 9

What is the process for returning a car in Buffalo?

Accepted Answer

To return a car in Buffalo station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car hire location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. 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.
