Almost all car rental companies require you to carry a document of proof of age, another form of ID to prove your address, and your driver's license to give you the car. You also need to provide an acceptable form of payment. There may also be additional documents required, and you will have to talk to the company.

A lot of rental companies ask their customers for a deposit fee before giving out their cars, and this amount will be returned once the car is dropped off. This is a precautionary step taken to ensure that the customer brings back the car in good condition. Depending on the location of your reservation, this fee varies across service providers.

While both vehicle classes are generally very affordable to rent & drive (offering great fuel efficiency), economy cars are generally slightly smaller than their compact counterparts.
