Normally, to rent a car in Rockford you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read over the rental agreement to determine any additional charges will be before you rent your car.

Almost all countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to pay for temporary coverage with the rental car company. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout. Many major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, provide some coverage; however, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Check the policy before you decide.

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Below is a list of the most common ones.

We suggest a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank. But, 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 fuel prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, find a filling station before you return the car.

Unlimited miles is a great choice if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit several clients all over Rockford. You can cruise wherever you want without incurring added charges. Review your rental agreement to see if there are any restrictions.

Before you get started on your Rockford adventure, check a few things prior to leaving the rental lot. You should:

• Check out the car and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If you notice any, write it down on your paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
