1. Reserve a car at least a week in advance. By doing so, you may even receive significant discounts.
2. Before driving off with your car, check its condition and look for damage or missing parts. Have any defects documented as “existing damages” so that you avoid getting charged for these.
3. Double check with the rental car agent regarding the charges and insurance for which you are responsible and have it in writing.
