What type of rental car should I get for my trip to Lansing?

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Lansing. If you're having trouble deciding, be sure to go over our table below. We have compared the most popular categories for you:

What age do you have to be to rent a car in Lansing?

Usually, the age limit for renting a car in Lansing is 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read the rental agreement to figure out what the total will be before you book your vehicle.

Do I need insurance to rent a car in Lansing?

When driving around Lansing or the rest of the U.S. of A., you will need insurance. Many suppliers require that you show proof of insurance before you pick up your car. Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Although many major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you get a larger or luxury vehicle. Check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

What is the fuel policy for Lansing rental cars?

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Below is a list of the most common ones.

What fuel policy should I get?

We recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank. But, if you return your rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a gas station before you bring the car back.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited miles is a great option if you plan to do a little sightseeing or visit a lot of customers all over Lansing. You can drive as much as you like without incurring added charges. Go over your policy to find out if there are any restrictions.

Tips before you leave the lot

Make sure you check a few things prior to leaving the lot on your Lansing adventure. You should take time to:

• Check out the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scratches. If so, mark it down on your paperwork
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new area
