Also ask for the insurance excess to be reduced on the hire agreement form (could be USD1000)
Also check spare, jack, wipers, air con etc.
Also, be aware that there have been a few reports of scams.....letting tyres down at traffic lights or tampering with the vehicle while parked, so that the scammers can follow you and then demand high prices to fix in remote places.
Also, if you have an accident with a local..it WILL be your fault.
The rational is that the accident would not have happened if you were not there ?!!
Very unlikely to happen, but you need to know about these things.
