What should I pay attention to when renting a car for the first time?

When renting a car for the first time, you should pay attention to the following issues: incomplete or insufficient insurance coverage, poor vehicle condition with no guaranteed follow-up services; unfair and unreasonable contract terms with hidden predatory clauses; being overcharged during the return inspection, where pre-existing issues or faults are pointed out and the customer is asked to compensate; delayed refund of the deposit. The correct way to rent a car: 1. Choose a reputable car rental company: Always opt for a legitimate car rental company, preferably a well-regarded, large company with a comprehensive fleet. Avoid choosing private vehicles or unlicensed cars just to save money. 2. Inspect the vehicle: Focus on checking the vehicle's mileage, lights, electronic configurations, oil level, coolant, brake fluid, and take it for a test drive to understand the car's braking, acceleration, and handling performance. Ensure the vehicle is in good condition, and report any issues to the rental company immediately. 3. Follow the contract terms: Return the rented vehicle at the specified time and location as per the contract, or you will face serious consequences. Additionally, any intentional damage to the vehicle must be compensated according to the contract terms.
