You will have to find a gas station near the drop-off location

What fuel policy should I get?

We encourage a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle topped off. However, if you return the rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a gas station before returning the rental.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for travelers 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.

Before you drive off

Make sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the rental lot. It's important to:

• Check out your car and determine if there is any dents or scratches. If so, write it down on the 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 unneeded distractions when you are navigating a new city
