Self-Drive Road Trip Checklist
A practical checklist for documents, vehicle inspection and rental terms before your trip.
Before pickup
Keep your valid driving licence and the identity documents requested by the rental provider ready. Check the pickup location and timing before leaving.
Inspect the car
Walk around the vehicle and document existing scratches or damage with clear photos. Check tyres, lights, mirrors, fuel level and any warning indicators with the provider.
Understand the rental terms
Confirm total price, security deposit, fuel policy, kilometre limit, late-return charges, roadside assistance and cancellation conditions in writing.
Plan your route
Check road conditions, tolls, parking options and realistic travel time. Avoid driving when tired and follow local traffic rules.
