    Asking the right questions before you book protects you from hidden fees and last-minute stress. Copy this checklist before you confirm any rental.

    Cost and payment

    • What is the total all-inclusive price for my exact dates?
    • How much is the security deposit and how is it refunded?
    • Are there any extra fees — airport delivery, cleaning, late return?

    Insurance and liability

    • What insurance is included and what is my excess?
    • What happens if the car is damaged or breaks down?

    The vehicle and policies

    • Is mileage unlimited or capped?
    • What is the fuel policy?
    • Can I take the car across a border or into national parks?
    • Is 24/7 support available if something goes wrong?

    A reputable company answers all of these clearly and in writing. Ask us anything on WhatsApp before you commit.
