You are well on your way to finding the best rate on your car rental when you use us. However, you can try to do a couple things to keep your next rental affordable. Make sure to:

• Read through the mileage policy to steer clear of any surprise fees
• Reserve your vehicle as far in advance as possible
• Avoid airport pick-ups and drop-offs if possible; they normally are more expensive

Typically, the age limit for car rentals in Lakeland is 21. But, you may find that there is an added fee if you're under the age of 25 or for higher category rentals. Go through the terms to figure out what the exact rate will be before you book your rental.

When cruising through Lakeland or the rest of the U.S. of A., you will need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you rent a car. Most countries require driver's insurance. You might be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental. Moreover, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com during checkout.

Many major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, give some coverage, but there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Below is a list of the most common ones.

Most suppliers provide you a full tank policy. At CarRentals.com, we encourage returning your car with a full tank. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before bringing the rental car.

If you plan to see all that Lakeland and maybe even the rest of Georgia offers, you are going to want unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Lakeland. Go over the fine print to make certain your mileage is actually "unlimited."

Be sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should:

• Walk around your vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scratches. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• 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, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable operating the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
