Normally, to rent a car in Lakewood you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read the rental agreement to discover what the total will be before you book your vehicle.

When driving around Lakewood or the rest of the United States, you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier requires that you show proof of insurance before you pick up your car. The majority of countries require the driver to have insurance. You might be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover you while traveling through the U.S.A.. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com during checkout.

Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check your rental car company's policy before you decide.

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

Many rental car suppliers offer a variety of fuel policies. However, full-to-full is our stand-out choice. You simply bring the car back with the same amount of fuel you got it with. Just be sure you make time to shop for the cheapest gas prices.

Unlimited miles is a good choice if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit several clients all over Lakewood. You can cruise as much as you want without incurring added charges. Read over your policy to find out if there are any restrictions.

Before you get started on your Lakewood vacation, be sure you check out a few things before you leave the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Check out the car and determine if there is any damage or scratches. If so, write it down on your paperwork
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack 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 entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new city

Maybe you're carpooling with co-workers to and from the hotel to the conference center, maybe you're traveling solo, or maybe you're bringing your partner or kids. CarRentals.com has the ideal car rental that can align with your needs and not deplete your travel piggy bank.
