Read through the supplier's terms to determine what any additional fees will be before you rent your vehicle.

Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Edmonton?

When cruising through Edmonton or the rest of the U.S. of A., you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you pick up your vehicle. Almost all countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to pay for temporary insurance with the rental agency. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com during checkout.

The major credit card issuers (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) will usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, like not covering larger vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you travel to Edmonton.

What fuel policy should I get?

Most suppliers give you a full to full tank policy. At CarRentals.com, we recommend bringing the car back with a full tank of gas. For a cheaper rate, fill up your tank before bringing the vehicle.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for those who don't want to worry about watching the odometer their whole trip. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Check the fine print before you book.

Know before you go

Before you get going on your Edmonton vacation, be sure you check out a few items prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should take time to:

• Check out the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scratches. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and the necessary tools to change it are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are navigating a new city
