Most  domestic and international airports provide rent-a-car services that tourist  can opt for to travel around. People can also book a car online before they  start on their trip.<\/p>\n<p>Among various factors that people should look into such as make, model,  luggage space, etc. there is another important aspect that often gets  overlooked while selecting a car rental. This is the car rental policy. It is a  must for tourists and business travellers to read these rental policies in full  before signing any paperwork or making any advance payment.<\/p>\n<p>These policies vary from country to country and even from company to  company. Therefore, being the buyer of a service, you have to be conscious of  what you are getting and what your responsibilities are. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cretarent.gr\/car-hire-policy.html\">Understanding a policy<\/a> in full will help avoid  any trouble in the middle of your vacation or business tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Car Rental Policies Cover<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Documents  to Produce before Renting a Car:<strong> <\/strong>All<strong> <\/strong>policies clearly mention the documents to be produced such as the copies  of passport, driving license, hotel address, number of people visiting and  their age, gender, etc. Some countries may also require some more specific  details<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Fuel:<strong> <\/strong>Besides going through the policies, interact  with the dealers about their gas policy. Most of them opt with the fill-tank  agreement which means you will have to pay for the fuel used. Sometimes, they  may ask you to keep a track on the distance travelled and charge you later for  the gas consumed. Learn if they have tie-ups with certain gas stations who may  give you discounts or provide other services such as car cleaning at reduced  prices<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Accident  and Insurance Policies:<strong> <\/strong>Knowledge of accident and  insurance policies will help you in a foreign land if you ever land in a  mishap. Keep copies of pictures and documents of the vehicle\u2019s previous  accidents to protect yourself from any problem. Also, keep the emergency  numbers handy.<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are in Crete, opt for car rental companies that provide detailed  information on their policies to their users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renting a car or a van or an RV is a good way to enjoy a holiday.
