How to calculate your free mileage when renting a car

In most countries there are free mileages (unlimited mileages) and there are no limitations to the number of kilometers you can cover during your rental period.

On the most tourist areas, for example, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and Uganda the rental vehicles will regularly be with free mileage.

In small and less known nations it is extremely unusual to find a rental vehicle with limited mileage. Auto rental with limited mileage are popular in bigger countries like United States, Spain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom.

Generally, just the luxury and premium car models are with limited mileage, yet now and again all rental classes of vehicles can be found with a set free allocation of kilometers incorporated into the rate – and everything over that limit to be charged moreover.

What does unlimited mileage mean?
When you hire a vehicle with reeditions mileage the number of miles kilometers will be incorporated into the total cost. In the event that you drive more than the stipulate kilometer, you will be charged for every kilometer above the limit.

Some auto rental companies stipulate an x number miles for each day. In the event that you have hired a vehicle for a period of 5 days with a 100mile limited mileage, you can drive a total of 500miles during your rental period with no extra charge.
