What should I know about the fuel policy when renting a vehicle?

Answer

Fuel policies can vary by rental company, but a common approach is 'full to full.' This means you pick up the vehicle with a full tank and are expected to return it the same way. • Some companies may offer a 'pre-purchase' option where you can buy a full tank of gas upfront, but be cautious with this as you won't get a refund for unused fuel. • Always check the vehicle's fuel level before leaving the rental lot to avoid any misunderstandings when you return it.
