Car Hire with Athol

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means returning at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

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.

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 traveling with pets, be sure to check the rental agency's pet policy. While some companies allow pets, there may be extra fees or specific requirements.
