Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

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.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like National in Austin. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

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.

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.

Car hires from National in Austin are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
