Do I need to refuel the truck before returning it?

Asked 2 years ago
When renting a truck from Penske Truck Rental, the general expectation is that the vehicle should be returned with the same amount of fuel as when it was picked up. This means that, yes, customers are generally required to refuel the truck before returning it to avoid any additional fuel charges. Penske wants to ensure that the rental experience is fair for all customers, so it is recommended to take note of the initial fuel level at the time of pick-up. If the truck is returned with less fuel than it was supplied with, there may be fees associated with refueling. For specific details regarding fuel policies or potential charges, it may be helpful to look on the current Penske Truck Rental webpage or consult the rental agreement provided at the time of rental.
