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

Normally, to rent a car in North you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to read over the terms to find any additional fees will be before you book your car.

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

When cruising through North or the rest of the U.S.A., you will need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you rent a car. Almost all countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer for your trip, if you think your insurance won't cover you while traveling through the U.S.A.. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com during checkout.

The major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) will generally offer coverage. But many of them have restrictions, like not covering larger vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to call and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you travel to North.

What is the fuel policy for North rental cars?

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

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

We encourage a full tank policy. You should get your 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 triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in North?

If you plan to see all that North and maybe even the rest of Virginia offers, you are going to want unlimited miles. You can drive as far as you'd like without worrying about additional charges. Go over the fine print to be sure your mileage is actually "unlimited."

Tips before you leave the lot

Before you get started on your North trip, be sure you check out a few items before you leave the car rental lot. It's worth the time to:

• Walk around the vehicle and be certain there is no 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 to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable operating the radio or entertainment features. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
