Do rental cars have mileage limits?

Some do. Budget, Dollar, and Sixt often have daily limits of 150-250 miles. Overages cost $0.25-$0.50 per mile. Always check your agreement.

How much do rental car mileage overages cost?

Typically $0.25-$0.50 per mile over the limit. On a 2,000-mile road trip with a 150 mile/day limit, you could pay $200+ in overage fees.

Compare with Unlimited Mileage

Unlimited Mileage Isn't Always Unlimited

Some "unlimited" plans still restrict out-of-state or cross-border travel. Read the fine print.

Track Your Mileage Daily

Take a photo of the odometer each day. If there's a dispute about miles driven, you'll have proof.

One-Way Rentals Often Have Different Limits

One-way drop-offs may come with stricter mileage policies and additional drop-off fees.
