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

Key Consideration:
  • Check the one-way rental fees: Many rental companies charge a fee for dropping off the car at a different location. Make sure to confirm this cost beforehand to avoid surprises.
  • Cross-border restrictions: If planning to travel across state lines, verify the rental company's policy on crossing borders, as additional fees or restrictions might apply.
  • Mileage caps: Confirm if the rental includes unlimited mileage or has a mileage cap, to avoid any excess mileage charges.
  • Drop-off locations: Familiarize yourself with the available drop-off locations in the destination city for convenience.
  • Vehicle availability: Ensure that the exact type of car you need is available for one-way rentals as selections might vary.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Book in advance: Reserve your one-way rental early to secure availability and often better rates.
  • Verify fuel policies: Check whether the rental requires a full tank at drop-off, so you can plan stops for refueling near the drop-off location.
  • Carry all required documentation: Ensure you have a valid driver's license, rental agreement, and identification to streamline the pickup process.
  • Understand the insurance coverage: Read and understand what the rental insurance covers to avoid purchasing unnecessary coverage.
  • Map out your route: Plan your trip route including rest stops and fuel stations to make your journey smoother.
