Most rental problems can be avoided before pickup.
Rental confirmation emails contain the details that matter — insurance, deposits, fuel policies, mileage limits, and add-ons — but they're easy to misunderstand. Once you're at the counter, it's often too late to fix expensive mistakes.
- Overpriced insurance and big excess amounts
- High deposits and card requirements
- Fuel policies that quietly cost extra
- Mileage limits and surprise fees
- Add-ons like GPS or Wi-Fi you don't need
