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.
