What's the age requirement to rent a car in Saint Simons Island?

Typically, to rent a car in Saint Simons Island 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 discover what the exact charge is before you book your rental.

Does Saint Simons Island require rental car insurance?

When cruising through Saint Simons Island or the rest of the U.S. of A., you will need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you pick up your automobile. Almost all countries require the driver to have insurance. You might be able to buy additional insurance through the rental car dealer for your trip, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

The major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) will typically provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, like 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 Saint Simons Island.

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 type of fuel policy should I choose?

We advise a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with the needle at "F". But, if you return your rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before bringing the rental. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Saint Simons Island?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for anyone who don't want to worry about watching the odometer their whole trip. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Read the fine print before you book.

Before you leave the lot

Before you begin on your Saint Simons Island trip, go over a few things prior to leaving the lot. It's worth the time to:

• Inspect your vehicle and determine if there is any dents or scrapes. If you notice any, mark it down on your paperwork
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and the necessary tools to change it 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
• Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
