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

Key Consideration:
  • One-Way Fee: Most rental companies charge an additional fee for one-way rentals to cover logistical costs of returning the vehicle.
  • Vehicle Drop-off Locations: Make sure the rental company has a drop-off counter or partnered facility near your desired destination in Los Angeles.
  • Cross-Border Restrictions: If planning a route across international borders, check whether your rental company's policies allow it.
  • Vehicle Selection: Ensure the vehicle you're choosing suits your travel route, especially if covering long distances or needing specific features.
  • Reservation Timeliness: Booking ahead is crucial as availability for one-way rentals can be limited, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan Your Travel Route: Chart out your route beforehand to know fuel stops, accommodation, and points of interest.
  • Fuel Considerations: Fill up the tank before returning the car to avoid high refueling fees.
  • Review Your Contract Details: Ensure you understand terms like mileage limits and insurance coverage for your one-way rental.
  • Plan for Extra Time: Give yourself ample time for drop-off in Los Angeles to manage any unexpected delays.
  • Leverage Loyalty Programs: Some rental companies offer discounts or rewards points for frequent customers; take advantage of them.
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.
