What is the policy for fuel when returning a rental car?

Asked 4 months ago
When renting a vehicle from Burlingame Cars, customers should be aware that the fuel policy typically requires returning the vehicle with the same amount of fuel that was in it at the time of rental. This means that if the car was rented with a full tank, it should also be returned with a full tank. If the vehicle is returned with less fuel, Burlingame Cars may charge for the missing fuel, often at a rate that exceeds the regular market price per gallon, alongside an additional service fee. It is advisable for customers to keep track of their fuel levels during the rental period to avoid any unexpected charges. To ensure a smooth return process, it is best to refill the gas tank before arriving at the rental location. For detailed information about the specific fuel policy and any additional charges, it is a good idea to refer to the current web page of Burlingame Cars.
