When you collect your car it’s worth remembering to do the following things:
Have your passport, driver’s licence (both parts of the license), copy of your car hire agreement and your credit card handy. Most car hire companies require you to provide a credit card at the counter (debit cards and cash are not accepted).
Check what you are signing at the car hire counter – especially what the exclusions are.
Make sure you walk around the car and inspect the vehicle. Even the smallest scratches or dents should be noted on the vehicle damage report before you leave the car park. It’s a good idea to take photos of any existing damage.
Make sure that the petrol tank is full if you have arranged to hire a car with a full tank.
Make sure you keep your car hire documents with you at all times (don’t leave them in the car in case the car is stolen). It is also worth making a note of the registration number and car hire company’s telephone number and keeping it with your passport.
