Tips Before Renting Your Car
Choose a car that meets your needs
Rental cars are typically available in a variety of sizes and models, so when choosing a car to rent, consider the number of people and the amount of luggage you’ll be transporting, and make sure to select a car with an effective air conditioning system, especially if you’ll be driving in a very hot city.
Reserve Your Car in Advance

Check the car’s body and tires
Inspect the car’s body for any damage, even minor scratches, and note it on the pre-rental inspection form. Otherwise, you may be charged for damage you didn’t cause.
Ask the car rental office about the type of fuel the car you’re renting uses to avoid using the wrong type and incurring engine cleaning costs.
