Question 7

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 8

What does car hire insurance cost at Richmond Airport, RIC?

Accepted Answer

The cost of car hire insurance depends on the deal you choose and can vary significantly between booking sites. Different providers offer varying levels of coverage, including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Theft Protection, and Third-Party Liability. Additionally, the amount of excess (the amount you're responsible for in case of damage or theft) you select will also affect the insurance price. Some options may offer zero-excess insurance for added peace of mind, though these may come at a higher cost. Start your car hire search today to explore and compare the different coverage options available to find the best fit for your needs.

Question 9

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Richmond Airport, RIC?

Accepted Answer

All hire companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your hire request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international hires for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for hires abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential.
