A valid driver's license and photo ID are always required. Most providers also ask for a credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit. Check age requirements and payment terms before you book.

Can I rent without a credit card?+

Some providers accept debit cards, but it's not guaranteed. Many require a credit card for the deposit. Filter by payment options when comparing, and always double-check the fine print.

What does 'full-to-full' fuel policy mean?+

You collect the car with a full tank and return it full. This is typically the simplest and most cost-effective option — and it avoids fuel surcharges at drop-off.

How does insurance and excess work?+

Basic insurance (CDW) is usually included, but the excess — the amount you'd pay in case of damage — can be high. Compare what's covered, especially for glass, tires and underbody damage.

Can I pick up in one city and return in another?+

Yes — one-way rentals are widely available. An extra fee often applies, so always check the total cost before booking.

What's the cancellation policy?+

It depends on the provider and booking type. Many offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup. Always confirm the terms in your booking confirmation.
