| What’s
the best way to get to my next destination? |
|
Most Rental Companies provide free
maps of the area, take one. If you haven’t yet gotten directions,
now’s your chance. Bring along your hotel’s address since the big
chains often have several of their hotels on the same major roads.

| How
much gas should the car have in it when I pick it up? |
|
Most Rental Companies provide a full
tank at pick up. You can check the contract, but you probably signed
it out as full, so make sure that it is full.

| How
do I know if my rental contract is correct? |
|
Since you are signing a legal document,
you might want to look at it. So many people just sign and go and
assume everything is correct. Confirm the return time, location,
and additional drivers. Make sure it matches your reservation pricing.
Also, make sure you are clear on any optional charges you have agreed
to pay and that any coupons or discounts have been applied. This
will help you avoid problems on return, as well as, any potential
legal problems. It is what is in writing that matters; not what
you say should be there. If you have any questions the counter representative
cannot adequately answer, ask to speak with a manager.

| What
paperwork will I need to keep in the rental car? |
|
Verify this on pick up, but you will
probably need to keep your rental contract in the car. Your rental
contract might be used as the car’s registration, and it will also
prove you have the legal right to drive the car if you are pulled
over. You might want to cross out your credit card numbers on your
rental contract if the Rental Company’s computer doesn’t automatically
cross them out for you.

| What
do I do if I have a problem with the car or need to keep it longer
than planned? |
|
When you pick up the car, be sure
to find out the phone numbers to call in case of an accident, breakdown
or rental extension. If you don’t and the local office is closed,
check with telephone information. Information may list a national
reservation center that is open 24 hours and will be able to help.
