Usually, the age limit for renting a car in Stamford is 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to read the rental agreement to determine what the total is before you rent your car.

When cruising through Stamford or the rest of the U.S.A., you'll need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you rent a car. The majority of countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to pay for interim coverage through the rental agency. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com during checkout.

Many major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, provide some insurance on your rental, however, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you get a luxury or larger vehicle. Check your rental car company's policy before you decide.

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

Most rental car suppliers give you a full to full tank policy. We encourage returning the car topped off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a filling station before bringing the rental. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

If you plan to explore all that Stamford and maybe even the rest of Connecticut offers, you are going to need unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Stamford. Go over the fine print to make sure your mileage is truly "unlimited."

Be sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot on your Stamford adventure. It's worth the time to:

• Look over your car and determine if there is any damage or scratches. If you notice any, mark it down on your paperwork
• 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 working the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new city
