The money‑saving move is simple: refill before drop‑off—unless you bought a prepaid fuel option. Right after pickup, read the fuel terms attached to your booking. If you’re departing from California, the policy is listed alongside your car rental details so you can choose the best plan.
Fuel options explained
Return full: Refill to the ‘F’ mark before the ramp. Keep the receipt in case the gauge reads shy of full. Prepaid fuel: Pay for a full tank up front and return at any level—great for late‑night flights. Same level: Match the level you left with; take a photo at exit so you know the target.
Smart last‑stop strategy
Aim for a station 3–5 miles from the garage and avoid airport‑adjacent pumps with premium pricing. Build a buffer for traffic and checkout inspection. If your route swings through theme parks, preview parking and local ramps from Orlando driving before the final leg.
What if you return under the mark?
You’ll be charged per the agreement, often at a per‑gallon rate that’s higher than neighborhood stations. If timing is tight, a prepaid option can be the stress‑free choice.
Vehicle choice matters
Families can keep luggage accessible with a roomy minivan. If you prefer flexible seating for day trips, shortlist SUV rentals and check the fuel economy notes when you book. For visitors comparing airport access and downtown stays, review New York car hire routes and mark fuel stops in advance.
