Are there different fuel policies?

We suggest a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank, and you should return it with a full tank. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before bringing the vehicle. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
