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

Key Consideration:
  • Understand the One-Way Fee: Car rental companies often add a drop-off fee for one-way rentals. Make sure to confirm this fee during the booking process.
  • Check Cross-Border Restrictions: Ensure that crossing state or country borders with the rental car is permitted and inquire about any additional costs.
  • Plan for Rental Duration: Budget extra time for possible delays and ensure the rental period matches your itinerary.
  • Refueling Policy: Understand the rental company's policy for returning the car with a full tank, as failing to do so can lead to charges.
  • Return Location Details: Verify the exact location where the car should be returned, especially if it's in a large or busy city.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan Your Routes in Advance: Review the journey route, including stops and attractions along the way, for a smooth drive.
  • Contact Rental Outlet: Call your pick-up location to confirm all details of the rental a day before your journey.
  • Ensure Familiarity With Car Features: Spend a few minutes understanding your rental car's functionalities to avoid trouble on the road.
  • Consider Group Plans: Traveling with companion(s)? Look for group offers which might save you money.
  • Seek Fuel-Efficient Cars: Opt for a vehicle that suits your mileage needs while saving on fuel costs.
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.
