Insurance is mandatory, wherever you rent a car. However, you could already be insured by your credit card or car policies.

What are the different fuel policies?

What fuel policy should I get?

We recommend a full to full policy. You receive the car with a full tank, and you will want to return it filled up. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a gas station before bringing the vehicle. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

• Inspect the car and determine if there is any dents or scrapes. 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
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
