Car Hire with RENTAL RIDE

Take time to get acquainted with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Understanding essential functions like lights, wipers, and navigation can enhance your safety.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

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

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

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.

Ask the rental agency about local driving hazards or specific conditions. This knowledge can help you prepare for potential challenges on your journey.

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.
