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

Typically, to rent a car in Erie you must be at least 21. Please note, you may find that there is an added charge if you're under 25 or for larger or higher category rentals. Go through the terms to figure out what the exact rate is before you book your car.

Does Erie require rental car insurance?

Insurance is always required, wherever you're renting a car. Nevertheless, your current car insurance may cover you. Additionally, if you pay using your credit card, the card's benefits may also insure you. Keep in mind, your policies may not cover you 100%, and you'll need to add it on to your booking. Check ahead of time and, if it's required, you can simply include it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

What are the different fuel policies?

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Here is a list of the typical policies.

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
