Question 10

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select.

If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations.

However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
