We encourage a full to full policy. You pick up your rental topped off. If you return the rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. For a cheaper rate, find a gas station before you bring it back. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

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.

Before you get going on your Ho Chi Minh City adventure, check a few items before you leave the rental lot. It's worth the time to:

• Inspect your vehicle and be sure there is no damage or scratches. If so, write it down on your paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
