Are there any additional charges I should be aware of?

Yes, there are additional charges you should be aware of when renting a vehicle. Here’s a breakdown of potential costs beyond the base rental rate:

1. Fuel Charges

• Fuel Refill: If the vehicle is not returned with the same fuel level as when you picked it up, you may be charged a refueling fee.

2. Toll Fees

• Toll Roads: If you use toll roads during your rental, the toll fees will be charged to you. Some rental companies offer toll packages, so check your options.

3. Optional Insurance Coverage

• Extra Protection: Opting for additional insurance coverage, such as collision damage waivers or personal accident insurance, will increase your overall cost.

4. Late Return Fees

• Overdue Charges: If you return the vehicle later than the agreed-upon time, you may incur additional charges for the extra time.

5. Additional Driver Fees

• Co-Driver: Adding another driver to the rental agreement usually comes with an additional fee.

6. One-Way Rental Fees

• Different Drop-Off Location: Returning the vehicle to a different location than where you picked it up may incur a one-way rental fee.

7. Vehicle Upgrades

• Model Upgrade: If you decide to upgrade your vehicle at the time of pick-up, this will likely increase the rental cost.

8. Cleaning Fees

• Excessive Dirt or Damage: If the vehicle is returned in a condition that requires extra cleaning or repair, additional charges may apply.

9. Equipment Rentals

• Extras: Renting additional equipment like GPS units, child seats, or ski racks will also incur extra charges.

Key Takeaway:

Review all potential costs before finalizing your rental agreement to avoid unexpected charges.
