Car Hire with Route1

Before finalizing your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be invaluable if your travel plans unexpectedly change.

With Route1, you can find car hire deals that feature a full-to-full fuel policy or unlimited mileage. This helps you save money on refueling and allows you to drive without worrying about the miles you cover. Just filter by 'Fuel Policies' to discover the best options for you.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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.

Ensure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are readily available throughout your rental period for easy access if needed.

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.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the rules regarding additional drivers. Some agencies charge extra fees, while others might offer it for free under specific conditions.

Research any toll roads along your travel path and understand their payment methods. Some rental firms provide toll transponders for added convenience.
