Drop-off charge

Drop-Off Charge

A drop-off charge refers to the additional fee imposed on a car rental customer when they return the vehicle to a different city from where they initially rented it. This extra cost is added to cover the expenses incurred by the rental company for transporting the vehicle back to its original location.

While drop-off charges are standard for most car rental companies, they may vary depending on the state or country in which the rental takes place. Some locations may not impose a drop-off fee, as is the case with Florida.

It is important for renters to be aware of drop-off charges at the outset of their rental agreement to avoid unexpected additional charges upon returning the vehicle. It is recommended that renters carefully review the rental agreement before signing it to ensure they understand all the terms, including any additional fees such as drop-off charges.
