What to know before renting a car

Choosing the right rental vehicle starts with understanding your trip. Consider how many passengers you will have, the amount of luggage you will carry and the roads you expect to travel on.

A smaller vehicle may be ideal for everyday city travel, while an SUV may provide additional space and capability for longer journeys.

You should also confirm the rental period before booking. Knowing your pickup and expected return dates makes it easier to understand the total rental cost.

Before collecting a rental vehicle, review the rental terms and make sure you understand any requirements that apply to the booking.

Planning these details in advance can make the rental process considerably easier.
