You will have to find an open gas station near the drop-off locationWhat fuel policy should I get?
We advise a full tank policy. You should receive your automobile with a full tank. If you return your rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. To avoid any added expenses, fill up your tank before returning the rental. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for travelers who don't want to worry about incurring any extra charges with the distance they drive. You will just need to make sure there's nothing else in the small print that could add in extra costs.

Make sure you go over a few items prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should take time to:
- Check out your car and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If so, write 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
- Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new region
