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

Key Consideration：

One-Way Rental Surcharge: Some agencies may apply an additional fee for one-way rentals. Check this fee during the booking process.
Drop-Off Location Availability: Not all rental companies allow drop-offs at every location. Confirm availability for returning the car in San Jose.
Mileage Limitations: Confirm if your rental contract includes unlimited mileage or if there are charges for exceeding a set number of miles.
Insurance Coverage Conditions: Verify whether the existing insurance policies cover one-way rentals and different cities.
Cross-Border Restrictions: If your trip might involve crossing borders, ensure it is permitted by the rental contract.

Smart Planning Tips:

Book In Advance: Reserve your vehicle early to secure the type that suits your needs and to potentially avoid higher rates.
Compare Costs Across Agencies: Evaluate prices and conditions offered by different rental companies for your route.
Understand Date Limitations: Pay attention to the hours of operation of the drop-off point in San Jose for a seamless return process.
Plan Route Efficiently: Use maps and navigation tools to map out your journey and include planned stops.
Refueling Policy: Know the fuel policy—whether you need to fill the tank upon return or pay the agency's refueling charges.
