A self-drive holiday is a great adventure for adults and children alike. However, before you make a commitment to rent a vehicle, make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the rental so as to avoid any unhappy disputes with the company. Make an effort to understand your responsibilities and liabilities before you make a commitment.Some thoughts for you :
- What are types of vehicles available and their differences ?
- How are the rental charges calculated ? Does the rate include unlimited kilometers ?
- Does the rental company have branches and where are they located ?
- What if repairs are required ?
- What if I commit a traffic offence ?
- Can I change my vehicle or downgrade my vehicle ?
- Are animals permitted in the vehicles ?
- How much is the cancellation fees, booking amendments and travel insurance ?
- Is there a minimum rental duration ?
- What kind of driver's licence is required and what is the minimum age required to drive the vehicle ?
- Where can I collect and return the vehicle ? Not all rental companies allow you to return the vehicle at the airport.
- How can I make a rental extension ?
- Can I make a one way rental ?
- Are maps and campground guides provided ?
- Does the rental company provide driving tips and a vehicle consultation ?
- Can I pre-book a baby seat or a booster seat and what is the rental fee ?
- Does the rental company provide camping kits such as tent, built-in ground sheet, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, pillows, ice box, crockery, pots and pans ?
- Can I make multiple rentals ?
- What are some of the travel restrictions ? For instance, campervans can only be driven on sealed/bitumen or well-maintained roads.
- What if there is a change of drop off destination ?
