Buying Gas Other than rental company

"If you return your car to Dollar less than full without prior arrangement. You will be charged $5 a gallon. Unbelievable but true. I fill up 20+ miles from the airport and it still looks full when I get there"


If you pay for the fully inclusive option you pick the car up with a full tank of fuel and return it empty, so you dont have to claim a refund on the tankful you put in.
Otherwise if you pay for a tank of fuel and then return it full , the rental company will then get the money for that tank of fuel from the next rentor, when they haven't paid for it.

Hi,I have been to Florida several times and I have had several differing arrangements regarding fuel.Either full tank on arrival and return full,or full tank charged $58 return empty, bearing in mind when I refilled it came to $28.If full no ned to worry about gas .When returning to Sanford we go to the Seminole shopping centre fill up nearby and head off to airport following road signs takes about 25 mins. Good luck

Hi Edmond, and welcome to the forum. If you use the 417 there are no filling stations on route, you will need to exit and rejoin. But as the others have said as long as you fill up prior to returning the vehicle at a gas station within 20 miles the gauge will still show full. Don't have the rental company fill it as they are expensive.

We have always gone for the Full tank on arrival and returned with whatever is left in it, Just
easier on the last day not to have to think about topping it up
