At the Counter: Your Car Rental Pick-Up Checklist
When you pick up your rental car, be proactive. Inspect the Vehicle thoroughly for any existing damage (scratches, dents, interior stains) and ensure it's documented on the rental agreement or with timestamped photos/videos. Check the Fuel Level and confirm the return policy (e.g., "full-to-full"). Understand the Controls (lights, wipers, parking brake) before you drive off. Finally, ask about cross-border travel if you plan to leave the country.
