You will have to search for an open gas station close to the drop-off location

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

At CarRentals.com, we advise 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 of gas. To avoid any added expenses, find a gas station before you bring the car back. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for those who don't want to worry about how many miles they are driving. You will just need to make sure there's nothing else in the small print that could add in extra costs.

Know before you go

Be sure you go over a few items before you leave the car rental lot. You should:

• Check out your 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
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new city
