Is insurance required to rent a car in Stonington?

When driving around Stonington or the rest of the United States, you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you rent a car. Many countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer for your trip, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover you while traveling through the U.S.A.. Moreover, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com during checkout.

Many major card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, give some coverage, but there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you get a larger or luxury vehicle. Be sure to check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

What is the fuel policy for Stonington rental cars?

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Below is a list of the most common ones.

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

We encourage a full tank policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank. If you return the rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, find a filling station before bringing the car rental. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

If you wish to check out all that Stonington 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 Stonington. Review the fine print to be sure your mileage is truly "unlimited."

Before you leave the lot

Make sure you check a few items before you leave the lot on your Stonington adventure. It's important to:

• Inspect the car 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
• 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
• Get comfortable operating the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
