What's the age requirement to rent a car in Sound Beach?

Generally, to rent a car in Sound Beach you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to go over the rental agreement to find what the exact charge will be before you reserve your rental.

Does Sound Beach require rental car insurance?

When cruising through Sound Beach or the rest of the United States, you will need insurance. Many suppliers require that you show proof of insurance before you rent a car. The majority of countries require driver's insurance. You might be able to buy additional insurance through the rental car dealer, if you know your insurance won't cover your rental. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

The major credit card issuers (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) will generally cover your car rental. But many of them have restrictions, such as not covering larger vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Sound Beach.

What is the difference between all the fuel policies?

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Here is a list of the typical policies.

What fuel policy should I get?

Most suppliers give you a full to full tank policy. We recommend returning the car filled up. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring it back. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Sound Beach?

Unlimited miles is a good choice if you decide to do some sightseeing or visit a lot of business associates all over Sound Beach. You can drive wherever you want without incurring additional charges. Read over your policy to find out if there are mileage limitations.

Tips before you leave the lot

Be sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot on your Sound Beach adventure. You should take time to:

• Inspect your car and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If so, write it down on your paperwork
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Get familiar with the controls of your 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 navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
