Understanding car rental quotes and deposits
The daily rate is only part of the cost. Ask these questions before you confirm a rental.
What's in the price
- Is mandatory insurance included in the quote, or added at pickup?
- Are taxes, airport fees and extra drivers included?
- Is there a mileage limit?
Deposits and pickup
- How much is the security deposit and how is it held and returned?
- Photograph the vehicle at pickup and return.
- Confirm the fuel policy and what happens if you return late.
