If you're booking on the phone, ask about restrictions. Is there a penalty for no-shows? How long will the car be held if you're stuck in traffic on the way to the pickup station? Is there a additional fee for additional drivers and must their names be listed in the contract? Is your 20-year-old daughter or son old enough to use the car? (this is important for liability reasons). The rate you see advertised in big print may become so inflated with state and local taxes, additional driver fees, airport surcharges, insurance, drop-off charges and gasoline bills that you end up paying more than twice what you expected.

Most companies will give you a better rental car and for only $5 more. One tip i would add is make sure to see if they offer any upgrades for free if it is not tourist season.

Paying strict attention to the fine print you mention in point 4 about unlimited miles can save a lot of heartache and money later. Even when you have car rental coupons or discount codes, it's best to check that you aren't paying for more than you should. Excellent advice.
