1. You'll need a credit card.
2. Do you have your own auto insurance? If so bring your insurance
card and turn down every insurance from the rental company.
3. Find out where the closest gas station to the rental office is.
Make sure you fill up just before you return your car.
4. If you need to drive the car out of state, make sure they know
about it.
