Top tips for hiring a car in Alabama

  • You should wear your seatbelt when you’re riding in the front seat in Alabama. The law doesn’t require adults in the rear seat to wear seatbelts, but for your safety, buckle up. Chuildren aged fifteen and below are required to wear a seatbelt even if in the back row. Children below eight should be in an appropriately sized car seat. You can rent a booster or safety seat when you book your car rental at the counter.
  • If you’re planning on crossing state and international borders, you can do so in an Alabama car rental. Several locations allow travel across both Mexican and Canadian borders. Travel into Canada is easy, and all you need to do is inform the rental provider so that you are issued a Canadian non-resident insurance card for your protection while driving in Canada. However, travel into Mexico is a bit challenging. Only a few agencies allow it, and even then, you’ll be required to purchase additional Mexican vehicle insurance before you’re allowed to travel across the border.
  • Always remember to refuel your rental car before dropping it off. It will save you a lot of money since letting the company refuel the vehicle will cost you significantly more because of their higher gas prices per gallon. Fill up at a gas station close to the drop-off point to return the vehicle with a full tank. Alternatively, you can prepay for gas and return your rental on empty. However, there are no refunds for unused gas.
  • Most car rental locations will allow you to register an additional driver. There is a fee charged per day for each additional driver, but spouses or domestic partners are authorized for no extra charge at some locations. Moreover, additional drivers must meet the age and license requirements for the rental agency, most of which require the additional driver to be at least twenty five years old.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Alabama for £45 or less
  • Compact hire cars in Alabama are around 46% cheaper than other car types, on average
