Yes, absolutely you can go inside and pay, the annoying part there is that you have to guess how big the tank on the rental car is, especially when returning it full.
Pay with cash, pump, then go inside to collect your change. That’s what I’d do. And if you prepay inside with your card, you still should be able to go inside for change.
Thanks, I'll try that.
I don't get it. If you want to return it full, just fill it up.
You must pay prior to filling up in the US.
So say you're going to pump $100 worth of fuel, and stop when the tank is full? You'll only be charged for what you pump.
Didn't work that way for me - last time I was filling up, I did pay a bit more before than fit into the tank and checked the bank account later - got charged for the full amount.
That's weird, they should just put a hold on for the amount you entered and then charge the actual amount pumped. Sometimes the holds appear as charges? Did you get a refund later?
Ah, that makes sense. Is this the case everywhere in the US?
