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

Key Consideration:
  • Anticipate one-way rental fees: Many rental companies charge an additional fee for one-way car rentals. Check the terms and consider this cost when planning your budget.
  • Cross-border restrictions: If traveling across state lines or international borders, confirm with your rental company about any restrictions or additional requirements.
  • Return time flexibility: Ensure you can return the car within your planned time at the designated drop-off location without incurring penalties.
  • Drop-off location options: It’s important to verify the exact location and address of the drop-off point in Los Angeles.
  • Rental agreement understanding: Read through the rental terms carefully to understand all obligations, restrictions, and insurance coverages.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan ahead: Reserve your one-way rental well in advance to secure better rates and availability.
  • Refuel before returning: Fill the gas tank close to the return location to avoid excessive refueling charges.
  • Choose the right vehicle: Select a vehicle that fits your needs and is economical for a long drive.
  • Inspect the vehicle thoroughly: Check for any existing damages and report them to the rental agency before leaving.
  • Check for add-ons: Consider handy extras like GPS or child seats if they are essential for your trip.
