Enterprise car rental at McClellan-Palomar Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic changes gears for you, while Manual is the traditional stick shift. Most rental companies offer both.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You begin with a full tank and return it full, meaning you only pay for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Select 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter to travel wherever the road takes you without added mileage charges.
Age requirements: Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
Side of the road: If it's your first time driving in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.
Required documents: As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID when collecting your Enterprise car rental. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Deposits and credit card: A security deposit is usually handled as a pre-authorised hold on your credit card. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so bring a credit card to avoid delays.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but it's a smart add-on if you'd rather play it safe. Not all insurance policies are equal, so check before booking.
Add ons: GPS units, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Enterprise car rental. Sort these in advance to speed up collection.
