What to check before renting a car

Price and terms

Compare the total for the whole rental period, not just the daily rate. Check pickup and return charges, the service fee, deposit and mileage limits in the selected listing.

Picking up the car

Agree on the exact place and time with the owner. Before the trip, inspect the bodywork, interior and tyres, check the fuel level and photograph the car’s condition.

Return

Clarify the permitted return time, meeting point and fuel terms in advance. If your plans change, notify the owner through the booking conversation.
