Car Rental with Rakuten

Returning your rental car is hassle-free with Rakuten. They provide clear return procedures and multiple options, ensuring a smooth end to your car rental experience, so you can focus on the next part of your journey without any stress.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

If you plan to have another person drive, confirm if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are any additional fees. Some may provide complimentary additional drivers under certain conditions.

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

Select a car known for fuel efficiency to save costs during your rental period. This choice can significantly lower your overall travel expenses.

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

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.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
