What's Princeton's minimum age to rent a car?

What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Princeton?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Princeton. Compact or economy cars are great for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room for luggage and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Princeton vacation can choose a higher-end car model like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in the United States?

You are required to have insurance before you rent from Hertz in the United States. Many of the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs.

What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full tank policy. You should receive your automobile with a full tank. If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Princeton's small-town atmosphere certainly is charming, but you may want to take to the road again after you've had an evening out in downtown Princeton or checked off all the activities in Princeton.
