Usually, the age limit for renting a car in Santa Fe is 21. Please note, you may find that there is an added charge if you're under 25 or for larger or higher category rentals. Go through the supplier's terms to figure out what the exact charge is before you rent your car.

Insurance is mandatory, no matter where you're renting a car. That said, your current car insurance may cover you.

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Here is a list of the typical policies.

Many rental car suppliers offer a range of fuel policies. However, full-to-full is our stand-out winner. It simply means returning the car with the same level of gas as you got it with, so you'll never pay for anyone else's road trips through the Santa Fe.

Unlimited miles is a good choice if you decide to do some sightseeing or visit several clients all over Santa Fe. You can cruise wherever you want and not incur extra charges. Go over your rental agreement to see if there are mileage restrictions.

Before you begin on your Santa Fe adventure, make sure you check out a few things before you leave the lot. You should take time to:

• Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench 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. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are navigating a new region
