Cheap car rentals with FlexWays

Booking a car rental is straightforward when you know what to expect. Whether this is your first time or you rent regularly, here’s what’s worth knowing before you pick up your ride.

Car rental age rules

Most drivers must be at least 21–25 to rent a car.

The exact car rental age limit depends on the car rental company. If you’re under 25, you’ll probably need to pay a young driver fee on top of the rental price. Also, some premium or larger cars have stricter age limits, so it’s worth checking before you book.

The documents you need

Bring your driver’s license and credit card.

You’ll need both of these at pickup. Some companies accept debit cards, but it’s not guaranteed. If you’re traveling somewhere that requires an International Driving Permit (IDP), get one before you go.

Car rental deposits

A deposit is held on your card—not charged.

When you pick up the car, the company puts a hold on your card. The money doesn’t actually leave your account, it’s just reserved while you have the car. The hold is removed after you return the car without damage, but it can sometimes take a few days.

Car rental insurance and deductible

Insurance is included, but there’s a deductible.

Most car rental bookings include a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). If the car is damaged, you’ll usually still have to pay a deductible. You can take out additional insurance to help cover that cost, either through the rental company or from a separate insurance provider.

Fuel and mileage

Full-to-full is usually the fairest option.

You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use. Prepaid fuel options may seem appealing, but you can end up paying more if you don’t use the whole tank. Check whether unlimited mileage is included too, as some rentals charge for extra miles.

Optional extras

The price covers the car and one driver.

Need a child seat, GPS, or an additional driver? Costs vary depending on where and who you’re renting from, and they can add up on longer trips. If you know you’ll need any of these extras, build them into your budget when you compare prices.
