Rental cars in Dallas can be booked both from agencies at the airport and in the city.
Before renting car it is important to make the following enquiries.
Total Bill: Often the rental car rate quoted may not include rental coverage, sales taxes, airport taxes, airport/concession, vehicle license fees and miscellaneous surcharges. All these additional charges can increase the rate by 10-40% depending upon the airport location. To avoid confusion one should get these facts cleared.

Coverage and damage waivers: It is possible to save money by having personal or business car insurance which covers rental cars. If not, companies will hike rents on the pretext of providing insurance and coverage. Personal or corporate auto insurance may cover Collision Damage Waiver (CDW); Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Physical Damage Waiver (PDW). It may also cover Personal Accident Insurance (PAI), Personal Effects Coverage (PEC) and Additional Liability Insurance (ALI).
Many agencies use the 24 hour clock rule. Though different companies have different policies, some companies use a calendar day billing policy wherein the car has to be returned by midnight or else the client risks being billed for a full extra day.
If the return date is in question it is usually cheaper to reserve with weekly, rather than daily, rates.
Mileage policy of companies varies; with agencies charging different rates based on how many miles the car is driven.
To avoid high premium the car should be returned with a full fuel tank.
