01
Prepare the required documents
Requirements vary by supplier and location, so the booked conditions are the source of truth.
- Bring the accepted driving licence and identification
- Check whether an international driving permit is required
- Confirm the main driver has an accepted payment card if required
02
Understand the money held at pickup
The rental price, security deposit, fuel policy and optional extras are separate concepts.
- Check the deposit amount and accepted card type
- Review fuel and mileage rules
- Ask before accepting optional products or upgrades
03
Inspect before driving away
Take time to compare the vehicle with the condition report and learn the basic controls.
- Record existing damage according to the supplier process
- Check fuel or charge level and return expectations
- Save the roadside-assistance and return instructions
