Don't be fooled by this "deal." Sure, it sounds nice not to worry about filling up the tank before you return the car, but in the long run, you'll always end up paying for more fuel than you actually use—and at a premium rate. You should also avoid letting the rental company refuel for you as they could charge up to five times the gas station's price. Your best bet? Fill the tank yourself, and top it off before you drop it off.

If you decide to opt for the renter's insurance, make sure you read the fine print and know what the insurance does and does not cover. Many things may be obvious, but if you are driving in a foreign country, you may come across some unusual situations you'd never face at home. In New Zealand, for example, you need to be on the lookout for keas, a species of mischievous parrots that love to destroy cars by pecking out the rubber lining on the windows. Before you rent a car in an unfamiliar place, research the driving conditions and make sure your insurance will cover all kinds of unexpected damage.

The insurance included with your credit card benefits only applies if you pay using that credit card. If you pay with another card or someone else pays, the insurance will not apply. Even if you use another card from the same bank, it still won't count. You can book your rental car with points and be covered by the insurance, but only if those points were earned on that specific card.

Even if you don't have your own car insurance, you could still be protected through your credit card. The Chase Sapphire Preferred card, for instance, includes an auto rental collision damage waiver, which covers collision damage and theft. This is primary coverage, which means you don't have to file a claim with your personal insurance company first, and the coverage includes other drivers on the rental agreement.

You didn't hear it from us, but rental car insurance is a bit of a scam. If you already have car insurance for your personal vehicle, there's no need to double pay at the desk—no matter how much the agent might try to persuade you. Plus, you might have even more protection through your health insurance policy or credit card benefits. The only time you should purchase extra insurance is if you're renting a car abroad as some countries aren't covered by U.S. auto insurers or banks.

We've all done it before. You get tired and switch drivers, or, ahem, stop for a drink and hand the keys to a sober buddy. Although it sounds harmless, you could actually get into a lot of trouble if you didn't add a second person to the rental car reservation. If you get into an accident when someone else is behind the wheel, your insurance won't cover any damages because that person wasn't authorized to drive the car. This means you'll have to pay out of pocket—which will cost you way more than the $10 a day extra driver fee. Luckily, there are a few loopholes. In California, drivers can be added for free, and in nine states, the driver's spouse can be authorized without charge

Many rental companies offer fast passes—such as E-ZPass or FasTrak— that will let you use express lanes in toll booths. While that may seem worth the convenience, you won't be happy when you see the final bill. Alamo, Enterprise, and National have a $3.95 fee per day, even if you don't use a toll road, and Hertz charges $4.95. Advantage is even worse: If you go through a toll booth without purchasing Advantage's E-Z Toll package, they will charge you for each toll along with a $15 administrative fee per day, up to $90 total. The smartest route? Go through cash-only toll lanes or use your own personal transponder.

Organizing an epic road trip? Be very careful about the mileage plan as you could get slammed with an exorbitant fee if you go further than the maximum distance. Hertz and Enterprise offer unlimited mileage within certain states (but will charge you if you cross state lines). And if you're renting on a weekend, there may be different rules than a weekday. For instance, Enterprise has a 100-mile cap per day on select weekend rentals, and Hertz will charge you $0.25 for each additional mile over the limit. Pro tip: SIXT offers unlimited free mileage on all its standard vehicles.

Before you connect your phone to the car's Bluetooth, know that some of your private information may be left behind. When you sync your device, your personal information is stored in the car, and rental companies are not required to delete this data. This might give the next driver access to GPS information that could reveal where you went and any home addresses you registered. If you must connect your phone, make sure you look up how to wipe the data from that car's specific system first.

If you're on the road often, you can reap a lot of benefits by joining rental car loyalty programs. For instance, Avis Preferred and Enterprise Plus will let you skip the counter, Alamo Insiders offers a small 5 percent discount for members, and Hertz's Gold Plus Program makes it easier to get going by partnering with CLEAR, the identity verification program that uses facial recognition to let you skip long airport security lines.

We've all been there. You get to the rental car counter, and they hand you the keys for a rusty, sub-compact tin on wheels. Then—to your horror—you see the bill at the end of the trip, and the company has whacked you with a bunch of fees you didn't even know existed. (Toll charges? Extra insurance? Mileage limits?). To prevent any more auto struggles, we've compiled the most common mistakes you should avoid when renting a car. So, next time, all you have to do is gas up and go.
