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

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

What fuel policy do you recommend?

We recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank, and you should return it topped off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for those who don't want to worry about incurring any extra charges with the distance they drive. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Check the fine print before you book.

Tips before you leave the lot

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

• Look over your car and make sure there is no damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack 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 operating the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new area
