How to Rent a Car

A rental agreement should be read before collection, especially the liability and use restrictions.

Key points

✓ Compare base rate, taxes, location fees, kilometres, fuel or charging terms and one-way charges.

✓ Understand excess reduction, exclusions, listed drivers, age limits and geographic restrictions.

✓ Photograph existing damage, wheels, glass, interior, fuel and odometer at pickup and return.

✓ Report incidents promptly and retain receipts and the final condition record.
