Most common fuel policy in Glasgow airport is 'full to full'. Your vehicle will be supplied with a full tank of fuel. To avoid incurring fuel charges you will need to return it full. You may be required to leave a fuel deposit reserved on your credit card, this will be released when you return the car full. Missing fuel will be charged on your return. The price per litre charged by the rental agent may be significantly higher than the price at the local service station.
Less attractive fuel policy is 'pre-purchase'. Your car is supplied with a full tank for which you will be charged at the rental desk. You can use as much fuel as you like and do not need to re-fill the tank before returning the car. Fuel charges are payable at the rental desk unless otherwise stated.
Very similar to the previous fuel policy is 'pre-purchase (partial refund)'. With this fuel policy, your car will be provided with a full tank of fuel. Some suppliers require you to leave a deposit at the service desk. In this case, your deposit is refunded upon return, minus the supplier’s fuel admin fee. For suppliers that do not require a deposit, the fuel cost is calculated when the car is returned. This cost is based on the amount of fuel used, and is added to the supplier’s fuel admin fee. The fuel admin fee ranges from a minimum of €25 to a maximum of €35. The admin fee is non-refundable regardless of the amount of fuel upon return. Fuel charges are payable at the rental desk unless otherwise stated.
