Self Drive Car Rental Checklist Before Pickup

A quick checklist before pickup can save time and avoid confusion later. First, verify your booking details, pickup date, return date, car model, deposit amount, and payment status.

At pickup, inspect the exterior for scratches or dents and take photos if needed. Check tyres, lights, wipers, AC, horn, fuel level, odometer reading, and vehicle documents.

Also keep emergency contact numbers saved on your phone. A careful pickup check helps both the customer and rental company maintain transparency.
