Tips for Car Rental Abroad
◾ Pick-Up Time:
Vehicles are reserved until one hour post the scheduled pick-up time on your voucher or until the station's closing time, whichever is sooner.
If you expect delays, contact the pick-up station using the details on your voucher.
◾ Credit Card & Deposit:
A credit card in the main driver's name is required as a deposit during pick-up.
Deposits are blocked to ensure rental terms adherence and future potential charges. It's typically unblocked within 14 business days post rental. Refer to your voucher for accepted credit card types.
◾ Rental Agreement:
After presenting necessary documents, you'll be asked to sign a binding rental agreement.
Review the contract thoroughly, ensuring clarity on details like additional drivers, any extra services, travel plans, and their respective charges.
Decline unneeded services or upgrades when offered.
◾ Fuel Policy:
Return the car with the same fuel level as received. Insufficient fuel upon return incurs additional charges determined by the rental company.
◾ Vehicle Cleanliness:
Ensure the car is returned clean and avoid smoking inside.
Excessive dirt or signs of smoking may result in added cleaning fees.
Remember, preparedness is key. Having a smooth car rental experience abroad is all about understanding the process and expectations. Safe travels!
