What's the age requirement to rent a car in Gloucester?

Normally, the age limit for car rentals in Gloucester is 21. However, you may find that there is an additional fee if you are under the age of 25 or for higher category cars. Go over the supplier's terms to determine what the exact price is before you book your rental.

Does Gloucester require rental car insurance?

Insurance is always required, wherever you rent a car. That said, you might already be insured by your credit card or car policies. Keep in mind, your policies may not provide total coverage, and you'll need to add it to your booking for Gloucester. Check in advance and, if it's needed, you can easily include it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

What is the fuel policy for Gloucester rental cars?

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Here is a list of the typical policies.

What fuel policy should I get?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You should get into your vehicle with a full tank. 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 fuel prices to refill it. To avoid any added expenses, find a gas station before you bring your car back. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited miles is a great option if you decide to do a little sightseeing or visit several clients all over Gloucester. You can cruise as much as you like and not incur extra charges. Review your rental agreement to see if there are mileage limitations.

Know before you go

Before you begin on your Gloucester trip, be sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Look over your vehicle and determine if there is any dents 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
• Get comfortable operating the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
