1. You may not be given the exact car you ordered and most car hire companies reserve the right to upgrade you to a more expensive similar make and model if they cannot supply the one that you specified.

2. Ensure you reserve the right car for your needs. Is there enough space for you luggage and have you pre-ordered infant seats?

3. Make sure the paperwork states clearly what you have paid for:insurance, taxes, charges for additional drivers, child seats, etc.

4. Check if there is any breakdown cover and ensure you keep the car hire company's contact details with you in case of emergencies

5. Before taking the car away check the petrol situation. Have you paid for a full tank and how much is in the tank? If you need to return with a full tank of petrol check where the nearest petrol station is to the car hire return depot.

6. When you collect the car check for any damage to ensure you are not blamed for any you have not caused when you return it

7. Check the insurance covers you for all aspects of your trip, especially if you plan to take your car off road on unsurfaced or gravel roads as you may not be covered.

8. Clarify the excess situation as you may be liable for damage to certain parts of the car like the. tyres or windscreen
