Hidden fees can raise your total cost if you skip a careful review of the rental terms. Some rentals charge by the mile, which can add up quickly on longer trips. Fuel fees may apply if you return the tank below the starting level, and some companies charge higher rates for prepaid fuel.
Optional insurance is often added at checkout, even when your personal auto policy or credit card already covers the rental. Late return fees are often charged by the hour rather than by the day, so confirm the exact return time in writing.
