Renting a car can be a simple and easy process. But, for something so simple, many people end up with the unfortunate surprise that a quick, uninformed or misinformed decision can bring delays, unnecessary expenses or major legal hassles. We can help you become informed so that renting a car stays a simple and pleasant experience.

• All Rental Companies have a minimum age requirement, usually 25.
• Some will rent to those 21 years old with a surcharge, which tend to range from $5.00 to $25.00 a day. Ask about this policy if you are under 25.
• Some Rental Car Companies will rent to those 18 and above in certain situations. Government or Military personnel on official business are often allowed to rent. Some companies will rent a car as an insurance replacement vehicle.
• The minimum age requirement applies to the renter as well as any additional drivers.
• Not always, some Rental Companies allow you to drop off their car at their other locations in town, in other cities or even other states.
• You’ll need to ask about each particular case to see if it is allowed.
• You’ll also need to know the cost since there is usually a charge for this convenience.

• Some companies have special low shuttle rates available between two popular locations.
• Some companies have special low rates available if they need the car moved to another location. Often, parts of rental fleets are moved south to north for the summer and north to south for the winter to adjust for seasonal needs. So, if you do happen to be going that way you can really find some good deals.
• You may need an international driver’s license or permit in addition to your U.S. driver’s license.
• Some countries charge a fee for a permit that allows you to drive on their roads.

• The rental contract may not be in English. See if they have rental contracts or at least an explanation of contract terms available in English. Also, see if they will have any English speaking counter personnel available to assist you when you arrive.
• Your personal insurance or credit card coverage may not be valid or acceptable to the rental company, so you may need to purchase extra coverage.
• Most rental car fleets outside the U.S. are made up of much smaller cars.
• Many foreign rental fleets will have a large percentage of manual transmission automobiles.
• A car with air-conditioning may be considered an upgrade in some foreign fleets.

• Road signage may be in unfamiliar languages and the colors and shapes of those signs may be different than those in the U.S.
• The direction of the lanes may be opposite of those in the U.S.
• Road conditions may be considerably worse than those found in the U.S.
• Gauges may only read in the metric system, 100 kilometers=60 miles.
• Gasoline is usually considerably more expensive and is often sold by the liter, 3.78 liters=1 gallon.
• Many countries have even higher taxes on rental cars than those in the U.S.
• Fuel prices are often considerably higher than those found in the U.S.
• Some countries have both a minimum and a maximum rental age.
