Normally, to rent a car in Newport you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read the rental agreement to figure out what the exact rate is before you book your rental.

Most countries require the driver to have insurance. You might be able to buy additional insurance through rental car company, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout. Many credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) will cover your car rental. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles such as premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Newport.

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

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank, and you will want to return it with a full tank. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before returning the rental. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

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

Be sure you check out a few items prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should:

• Inspect the car 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
