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

Key Consideration:
  • One-Way Fees: Expect to pay an extra fee for dropping the car off at a location different from where you picked it up.
  • Drop-Off Location Restrictions: Verify if the rental company allows drop-off in your intended city, especially for cross-state travel.
  • Cross-State/Border Policies: Check if crossing state lines or borders is permissible under the rental agreement.
  • Vehicle Availability: One-way trips may have limited vehicle options; book early to secure your preferred type.
  • Insurance Coverage: Ensure that your insurance policy extends to one-way rentals, as conditions might differ.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan Your Travel Schedule: Book your rental in advance to increase your chances of availability and better pricing.
  • Compare Fees: Research different rental companies to find the best rates for one-way trips.
  • Look for Unlimited Miles Option: Check if your rental includes unlimited miles to avoid additional charges.
  • Plan Your Route: Make a trip plan including possible stops and refueling stations to optimize your journey.
  • Refuel Before Drop-Off: Return the car with a full tank of gas to avoid refueling charges from the rental company.

If you wish to extend your rental, you should contact the rental company as soon as possible. They will modify your agreement, but additional fees or rate changes might apply.

What documents are required to rent a car for this route?

To rent a car, you'll typically need a valid driver's license, a credit card in your name, and proof of insurance if you choose not to purchase coverage through the rental company.
