However, if you don\u2019t use all of the fuel then the supplier is unlikely to offer a refund for what is remaining.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most popular fuel policy option among British holidaymakers tends to be \u2018pick up full and return full\u2019, which is usually the most cost effective. It\u2019s therefore the driver\u2019s responsibility to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel at the end of their holiday, or the car rental supplier could charge you for having to refuel the vehicle themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBritish holidaymakers should carefully read the terms and conditions of the agreement with their car rental supplier to avoid any confusion around the fuel policy such as incurring additional costs once they\u2019ve returned the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP 10 HOLIDAY CAR HIRE HOTSPOTS AND THE AVERAGE COST OF FUEL ACROSS EUROPE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Country Petrol (\u20ac) Diesel (\u20ac) Average (\u20ac)<br \/>\n1 Mallorca 1.13 1.03 1.08<br \/>\n2 Milan 1.45 1.30 1.37<br \/>\n3 Rome 1.45 1.30 1.37<br \/>\n4 Barcelona 1.13 1.03 1.08<br \/>\n5 Pisa 1.45 1.30 1.37<br \/>\n6 Porto 1.45 1.21 1.33<br \/>\n7 Marseille 1.28 1.15 1.21<br \/>\n8 Gran Canaria 1.13 1.03 1.08<br \/>\n9 Lisbon 1.45 1.21 1.33<br \/>\n10 Faro 1.45 1.21 1.33<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most popular holiday car hire hotspots in Europe have been revealed, with Mallorca topping the charts as the location where most British holidaymakers choose to rent a car once they\u2019ve reached their destination.
