Hidden Fees on Rental Cars and How to Dodge Every Single One

Additional Driver Fees

Adding an extra driver to your rental agreement can incur additional fees, which can quickly add up. If you plan to share driving responsibilities, check if your rental company offers free additional drivers. Some companies waive these fees for spouses or domestic partners, while others include them in loyalty programs. Before booking, inquire about the additional driver policy and search for promotions or memberships that might offer complimentary coverage for extra drivers, ensuring you don’t pay more than necessary.
