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

Key Consideration：

One-way rental fee: Expect to pay an additional fee for returning the car at a different location. Confirm this cost during booking.
Drop-off location policies: Verify that your destination office allows one-way rentals and is open during your intended drop-off time.
Vehicle availability: Not all vehicle types are available for one-way rentals. Choose from the available options suited for your journey.
Cross-border restrictions: If planning to cross state lines, confirm any coverage or restriction policies with the rental agency.
Documentation required: Ensure you have the necessary documents, such as ID, driver’s license, and reservation details.

Smart Planning Tips:

Book early to secure availability: One-way rentals can be limited; booking early ensures the best selection and pricing.
Plan your route efficiently: Tailor your route based on fuel stops, attractions en route, and preferred roads to avoid excessive mileage.
Refuel before returning: Avoid additional charges by refueling the tank to the agreed level before returning the car.
Contact customer service for clarity: If unclear about terms, fees, or policies, reach out to clarify and avoid surprises later.
Consider extra insurance coverage: Review your current coverage and opt for additional insurance if you feel your trip might carry extra risks.
Check mileage limits: Ensure that the rental conditions include unlimited mileage if your trip covers extensive distances.
