Before leaving
Check handover time, fuel or charge level, tyre pressure and the support contact. Take time to photograph the condition report with the agent.
Choosing the car
A city car suits most urban travel. For luggage, longer stays or tracks, prefer an SUV or 4×4. Ask for advice if your itinerary leaves the main roads.
