  • Avoid those steep refueling fees by booking a car hire in Chileka Airport with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start and end your trip with a full tank, and pay only for what you use.

  • Want to explore without stressing about the number of miles you cover? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra charges.
