What to check before renting a car
Look beyond the headline price and read the full offer terms.
Compare offers on equal terms
A price comparison can mislead when pickup and return points, dates, times, driver age, or vehicle class differ. Open the offer details and review the total amount, mileage allowance, fuel policy, and any extras separately.
Check the terms before payment
Age and licence requirements, deposit, accepted card type, cancellation deadline, and office hours vary by rental company. Read the current offer terms before confirming; ask support when a condition is unclear.
Quick checklist
- Confirm the pickup and return locations, dates, and times.
- Check the total price and extras, not only the daily rate.
- Read the driver, licence, card, and cancellation requirements.
