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

Key Consideration:
  • One-Way Fees: Check the one-way fee, as many rental companies charge a convenience fee for returning the vehicle to a location other than the pick-up point.
  • Driver Requirements: Ensure you meet the age and licensing criteria required for car rentals in the destination state.
  • Car Availability: Verify the availability of cars at the Fort Myers location for one-way trips to Miami.
  • Route Restrictions: Some vehicles might have restrictions on where they can be driven, such as highways or cross-border routes.
  • Fuel Policies: Understand the fuel policy clearly to avoid unexpected charges during the drop-off.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Book Early: During peak travel times, book your one-way rental early to ensure vehicle availability.
  • Plan Your Route: Familiarize yourself with the route from Fort Myers to Miami and identify any possible stops or detours.
  • Check Insurance Coverage: Verify whether your current insurance policy or credit card offers coverage for rental cars.
  • Drop-off Location Details: Confirm the exact drop-off location in Miami to avoid inconvenience upon arrival.
  • Look for Discounts: Keep an eye out for promotional offers on one-way rentals for cost-saving opportunities.
Insurance: A Critical Consideration

Rental car insurance is essential for peace of mind on your journey. Counter rates can be expensive, often adding $20-40 per day to your rental cost.
