When driving in Pau or the rest of France, you will need insurance. Almost every supplier requires that you show proof of insurance before you pick up your car. Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to pay for interim insurance with the rental supplier.

Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Be sure to check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

What is the fuel policy for Pau rental cars?

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 suggest a full to full policy. You should receive your car with the needle at "F". 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 keep your expenses lower, find a filling station before returning the rental. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

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

Unlimited mileage is a good option for travelers who don't want to worry about how many miles they are driving. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Read the fine print before you book.

Before you drive off

Make sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Look over the vehicle and be sure there is no 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 to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
