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

Normally, the age limit for renting a car in Waterloo is 21—the same as it is across the rest of the country. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to read over the supplier's terms to find what the total is before you book your vehicle.

Is insurance required to rent a car in Waterloo?

Insurance is always needed, no matter where you rent a vehicle. That said, your current car insurance may cover you. Additionally, if you pay for the rental in full using your credit card, the card's benefits may also insure you. Keep in mind, your policies may not cover you 100%, and you'll need to add it to your booking for Waterloo. Look into it before you book and, if it's needed, you can conveniently include it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

What are the different 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 recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your rental with a full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. To avoid any added expenses, find a filling station before you bring the car back. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

If you plan to see all that Waterloo offers, you are going to need unlimited miles. You can drive as far as you'd like without worrying about additional charges. Read the fine print to make certain your mileage is truly "unlimited."

Before you leave the lot

Be sure you check a few things before you leave the lot on your Waterloo adventure. It's worth the time to:

• Inspect your car and be sure there is no dents or scrapes. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and both the lug wrench and jack 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 windshield wipers
• Get comfortable operating the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
