Renting considerations

As with renting a car in any city or location worldwide, ensure that:

• You carefully check the car and inform the car rental company or agency of any marks, dents and damage to the car BEFORE you drive it away. There should be a sheet that you sign which details any issues on any part of the care.
• Ensure you are clear on whether the car is a diesel or petrol (gasoline) fueled vehicle. It is amazing how many people fill it up with the wrong type of fuel.
• Ensure that you are clear or any damage excesses and also any requirements such as if you have to return the car full of fuel.
