About us

Where you rent from

  • Airports – Most convenient, usually pricier
  • City locations – Often cheaper, fewer fees
  • Online platforms – Big brands (Hertz, Avis, Enterprise) or peer-to-peer (like renting someone’s personal car)

Types of cars you can rent

  • Economy/Compact – Cheapest, great on fuel
  • Sedan – Comfortable for longer drives
  • SUVs – Space for people 
  • Luxury/Performance – $$$ but fun
  • Electric/Hybrid – Increasingly common

 

What affects the price

  • Rental length (daily vs weekly is usually cheaper)
  • Car type
  • Location (airports add fees)
  • Time of year (holidays = higher prices)
  • Insurance choices
  • Age (under 18 often costs more)

Insurance basics (important!)

You’ll usually see options like:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW) – Covers damage to the rental
  • Liability insurance – Covers damage to others
  • Personal accident insurance

 Tip: Your credit card or personal auto insurance may already cover rentals—worth checking so you don’t double-pay.

 

Requirements to rent

  • Valid driver’s license
  • Credit card (sometimes debit cards are accepted with restrictions)
  • Minimum age (usually 18-25, depending on country/company)

Fuel policies

  • Full-to-full (best): return it with a full tank
  • Prepay fuel: convenient but often costs more
  • Return empty: almost always the most expensive option

Common gotchas to watch for

  • Extra charges for additional drivers
  • Mileage limits
  • Late return fees (even by an hour)
  • Scratches or dents not documented at pickup

 Pro move: take photos of the car before and after.
