What to Check Before Driving Off With Your Rental

Before you drive away, walk around the car and note any existing scratches or dents together with the staff member handling your pickup. Check the fuel level and mileage recorded on your booking match what you see on the dashboard — both are recorded to keep the return process fair for everyone. Finally, make sure you have the contract, a copy of your license, and the rental company's contact number saved in case you need roadside assistance.
