Things to Consider While Hiring a Car

In case of any unforeseen issues on the road, it is crucial to ensure that you have adequate insurance and breakdown cover.

To guarantee a relaxing, exciting, and stress-free holiday, follow this simple checklist:

Do I need additional ID? You may need an ID document, such as a passport, along with a valid credit card. For luxury models, a second credit card or a service bill from the last three months at the same address may also be required. All drivers planning to drive the car must provide these documents.

Should I conduct a vehicle inspection? It is important to ensure that the vehicle you receive corresponds to the rental agreement documents. Check for any listed defects and inform the rental company if you notice any additional ones to avoid being charged for damage you did not cause. Verify the registration and model, and ensure your personal details are accurately recorded. Check the fuel levels and confirm the type of fuel the vehicle uses. The rental company should assist with any questions. Keep in mind that you may need to return the car with a full tank of petrol, so include that in your holiday expenses.

How do I pay? Payment with a credit card is preferred as it can be used to provide a deposit without dealing with large sums of cash. If no damage is done to the car, and it is returned according to the rental company's terms, you should only be charged for the rental costs on your credit card. Alternatively, you may be able to pay for the actual rental charges with a check or cash. Check with the rental company beforehand to clarify payment conditions.

Do I need insurance? If you will be driving abroad, it is essential to ensure you are adequately insured. Alternatively, we can offer a maximum of 90 days of foreign use extension on your comprehensive or third-party fire and theft policy for a small fee (trips of three days or less are free).
