Comparing car rentals? Here’s what you need to know

We work with more than 1,000 car rental providers worldwide, so we know our stuff when it comes to renting a car. From insurance to fuel policies, here’s what’s helpful to know when you’re comparing car rental deals.

Age limits

Most drivers must be at least 21–25 to rent a car.

Car rental age limits vary between companies—most set the minimum age between 21 and 25. If you’re under 25, you may need to pay a young driver fee, and it won’t always show up in the price when you’re comparing. Also, some premium or larger cars have higher age limits.

Documents to bring

Your driver’s license and a credit card are a must.

Every company will ask for your driver’s license and a credit card. Some accept debit cards, but it’s not guaranteed. If you’re renting somewhere that requires an International Driving Permit (IDP), get one before you travel.

Car rental deposits

The deposit is a hold on your card, not a payment.

When you compare prices, remember that the deposit isn’t part of the rental cost. It’s a separate hold placed on your card when you pick up the car. You get it back after you return the car without damage, usually within a few days.

Car rental insurance

Insurance is included, but there’s a deductible.

CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) is included with most car rental bookings, covering damage and theft. But you’ll need to pay a deductible if something goes wrong with the car. Deductible amounts vary between providers, so it’s worth comparing. You can take out deductible reimbursement insurance to cover it.

Fuel and mileage policies

Full-to-full is usually the best value.

Full-to-full means you get the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use. Prepaid options may be convenient but often cost more. Also, check whether unlimited mileage is included, as charges for going over the limit can add up.

What costs extra

The price covers the car and one driver.

Child seats, additional drivers, roadside assistance, and GPS are generally charged on top of the listed price. If you know you’ll need them, make sure to include them when you’re comparing rental options. Costs for extras vary by location and can add up on longer rentals.
