At Pickup

If you have a personal car insurance, you may not need to buy the car rental company's collision or loss damage waiver (CDW or LDW) insurance. Ask your insurance agent for more info.

Before driving away from the car pickup station, be sure to check the car's body for damages, scratches, etc. Also check the tires, lights and turn signals and report any defects.

Familiarize yourself with the car that you will be using. See which side is the tank on, test the headlights, windshield, wipers and turn signals. Be sure that you memorize the car model, make and color so it will be easier to find it on a busy parking lot.

Returning your Car

Before returning the car you rented, always fill the tank yourself. This way, you only pay for the gas you used. Be sure to return the car on time to avoid late fees. Before leaving the car, check that you do not have any personal belongings left inside the car and on the trunk. Check that you have your phones, sunglasses, wallet, umbrella as these are the most common lost articles.

Be sure that you and an attendant inspects the car for any damages. Check your car rental agreement for all charges that needs to be paid.
