How old do you have to be to rent a car in Berkshire?

Normally, to rent a car in Berkshire you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to read the supplier's terms to find what the total will be before you reserve your rental.

Is insurance required to rent a car in Berkshire?

Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to purchase interim insurance with the rental car company. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout. Many credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) will offer coverage. But many of them have restrictions, such as not covering large vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to call and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you travel to Berkshire.

What are the different fuel policies?

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Below is a list of the most common ones.

What fuel policy do you recommend?

We advise a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank, and you should return it topped off. For a cheaper rate, fill up your tank before you return the car. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Berkshire?

If you wish to explore all that Berkshire and maybe even the rest of Massachusetts offers, you're going to need unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Berkshire. Go over the fine print to make sure they are actually "unlimited."

Before you leave the lot

Before you begin on your Berkshire adventure, go over a few items prior to leaving the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Walk around the vehicle and determine if there is any dents or scratches. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork
• 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 working the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new area
