Does Independence require rental car insurance?

When cruising through Independence or the rest of the U.S. of A., you will need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you pick up your car. Most countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to buy temporary coverage through the rental supplier. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com during checkout.

The major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) will generally provide some coverage. But many of them have restrictions, such as not covering large vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Independence.

What is the difference between all the fuel policies?

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Below is a list of the most common ones.

What fuel policy do you recommend?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You should get your car 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 triple the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, fill up your tank before you bring your car back. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

If you wish to explore all that Independence and maybe even the rest of Kentucky offers, you are going to need unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Independence. Go over the fine print to be certain your mileage is truly "unlimited."

Before you drive off

Make sure you check out a few things before you leave the rental lot on your Independence adventure. It's worth the time to:

• Look over the vehicle and determine if there is any dents or scratches. If so, mark it down on your paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
