Are there different fuel policies?

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

What fuel policy should I get?

Most rental car suppliers provide you a full to full tank policy. At CarRentals.com, we advise returning it topped off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a filling station before bringing the car rental. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited miles is a great choice if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit a lot of business associates all over Sumter. You can drive as much as you want without incurring additional charges. Go over your policy to see if there are mileage restrictions.

Before you drive off

Be sure you check a few items prior to leaving the lot on your Sumter adventure. You should:

• Inspect the vehicle and make certain there is no 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, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
