What you need to know for the road

How do I get a Philadelphia Dollar rental car at a great rate?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best price, whether you reserve your vehicle. But reserving your car ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Make sure to not add an additional driver and go over the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

What do I need have with me when I pick up my rental car in Philadelphia?

You will need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Philadelphia?

Most suppliers in Philadelphia require that you at least be 21 years old to rent a car. Take time to go over Dollar's policy, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles in particular.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Philadelphia?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Philadelphia. For bigger cities, like Philadelphia, you may find exploring and parking easier in a compact car. Commute times in Philadelphia are close to 32 minutes, so you may find a mid-size vehicle or SUV provides a more comfortable ride. If you want to decrease your emissions and save on gas, then opt for a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Philadelphia trip can choose a higher-end category like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Dollar. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Dollar require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Dollar does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

Do I have to return my Dollar rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your Dollar rental topped off. If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Dollar.

Philadelphia is a big city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to worry about your mileage limits if you are planning to see what else Pennsylvania has to offer.
