Book Cheap DRIVALIA Car Hire Deals in Vega de Oro, Málaga, Spain

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.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Before renting, check if your personal auto insurance extends to rental cars. Many policies and credit cards offer rental coverage, helping you save on insurance costs.

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.
