How old do you have to be to rent a car in Locust?

Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Locust?

Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to purchase interim coverage through the rental car supplier. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout. Several credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover) will cover your car rental. But there may be limitations, such as not covering large automobiles such as premium models or some SUVs. It is best to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Locust.

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

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle topped off. However, if you return your 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. If you want to save some money, find a filling station before you return the car.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

If you wish to check out all that Locust and maybe even the rest of North Carolina offers, you are going to need unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Locust. Review the fine print to make certain they are actually "unlimited."

Before you drive off

Make sure you check out a few items before you leave the lot on your Locust adventure. You should take time to:

• Check out 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
• 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). It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new area
