First-Time Car Rental Advice Needed!

Travel Hack
1

Hallo…
I’ve never rented a car before and need some help. I’ve been looking into it and reading the fine print, but I’m still pretty confused.
So, I’m 23 and I need to rent a cheap car for two days. I’m planning to pick it up at the airport and drop it back off there when I’m done. :smile:
I’ve got a few questions:
:sweat_smile:

  • Are there any rental places that don’t ask for a deposit? Or maybe a way to avoid paying one?
  • How does the insurance thing work? Do I have to pay for it separately, or is it included in the total price? And besides insurance, is there anything else I should consider adding for coverage?
  • Any tips or things I should know that most first-timers miss?
    Your advice is welcome…

The majority of rental firms have age requirements of at least 25 years. :saluting_face: Some may demand an extra price, while some accept drivers as young as 21.

3

Think about how many passengers and how much room you need for bags. More spacious automobiles provide more comfort, :wink:yet economy cars are more affordable and fuel-efficient.

4

Getting a better deal on your reservation early might assist. :smiling_face: Examine rates from many rental firms and keep an eye out for special offers or discounts.

5

Recognize the fuel policy. While some firms charge for refilling, others insist that you return the vehicle with the tank full.

6

whether the rental automobile coverage is provided by your credit card or personal auto insurance. :heart_eyes: If not, think about getting insurance from the rental agency.
