Common Mistakes People Make While Renting a Car

Avoid these mistakes to make your rental experience smooth.

1. Not Reading the Agreement

Many renters ignore terms about:

  • Mileage limits

  • Fuel policy

  • Late return fees

2. Skipping Insurance

Basic insurance may not cover all damages. Consider full coverage.

3. Late Returns

Even a 1-hour delay can result in an extra day charge.

4. Returning Without Refueling

Rental fuel charges are usually higher than fuel stations.

5. Booking Last Minute

Prices rise during peak seasons. Early booking saves money.
