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

Key Consideration:
  • One-way rental fee: Many car rental companies charge an additional fee for one-way rentals. Verify this cost before confirming your reservation.
  • Drop-off location restrictions: Ensure the rental company permits vehicle return at the destination you are planning to drop off the car.
  • Cross-border travel rules: Consult with your rental provider about rules for crossing state or national borders, if applicable to your journey.
  • Refueling policies: Review the fuel policy of your rental agreement and check for any nearby refueling stations near Fort Lauderdale.
  • Booking flexibility: Check the rental terms to see if adjustments for dates or destinations are allowed without significant fees.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan refueling: Locate a gas station near the drop-off to return the car with the agreed upon fuel level and avoid additional charges.
  • Inspect vehicle upon pickup: Inspect for pre-existing damage and verify all listed equipment during the initial vehicle handover.
  • Compare rental companies: Analyze and compare one-way policies from different providers to find the best deal suited for your trip.
  • Understand insurance coverage: Be clear on whether your auto or credit card insurance provides adequate coverage, especially for one-way rentals.
