Car Hire with Luz Ocean Drive

Choose a pickup location that’s easy for you to access. Many rental firms have spots at airports for quick retrieval, while others might require shuttle transport.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Take time to get acquainted with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Understanding essential functions like lights, wipers, and navigation can enhance your safety.

Take the time to read the rental agreement carefully. Understanding the terms will help you avoid surprise fees and facilitate a smooth rental experience.

Check if the rental agency offers additional items such as GPS units or child safety seats. These can enhance your trip but may incur additional costs, so plan accordingly.

Typically, car rental companies require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Make sure to ask about the specific deposit amount and how it's handled once you return the vehicle.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

When evaluating insurance, consider options that include free excess coverage, meaning you won’t pay a deductible for damages, offering additional reassurance.
