What should I pay attention to for a one-way rental?

Key Consideration:
  • One-Way Fees: Be aware of any additional fees that may apply specifically to one-way rentals. These vary by rental company.
  • Rental Costs: Compare rates between different rental agencies to find the most cost-effective option for your one-way trip.
  • Return Locations: Ensure the drop-off location in Orlando is conveniently located and verify if any conditions apply.
  • Geographical Restrictions: Confirm whether there are any restrictions on driving the rental car outside specific areas or states.
  • Documentation Required: Bring necessary documents such as valid identification and an accepted payment method when picking up and returning the car.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Book Early for Savings: Advance booking can help secure lower rates and ensure car availability.
  • Plan Flexible Timings: Avoid rigid schedules to accommodate potential delays and make the most of the trip.
  • Research the Route: Familiarize yourself with the driving route from Cape Canaveral to Orlando for a smoother journey.
  • Understand Fuel Policies: Know the fuel policy whether it is full-to-full or pre-paid fuel to avoid unexpected charges.
  • Customer Support Accessibility: Ensure you have the rental company’s contact information handy for immediate assistance if needed.
  • Inspect the Vehicle: Check for any damages or issues before starting your trip and notify the rental company immediately if found.

What documents do I need to rent a car for this route?
