Most suppliers give you a full to full tank policy. We advise bringing it back with a full tank. To avoid any added expenses, fill up your tank before you return the car.

Unlimited mileage is a good choice 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. Check the fine print before you book.

Before you leave the lot

Be sure you check a few items before you leave the lot on your Springfield adventure. You should:

• Inspect your vehicle and determine if there is any 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
• Get comfortable operating the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new region
