If you guys out there got experience please help to elaborate more on it.
Thank you,

Regards,
Apart from parking coupon and cashcard, these are the things that you need:
Before: (on the time of collection)
- Check with the Hirer the terms and conditions if you still are aware of yet, things like excess, insurance coverage, petrol usage, time of return etc
- Check the condition of the car with the hirer (or point of contact), make sure that the hirer is aware of any scratches or dent on the car before you drive off
- Rental rates to pay the hirer
After (when you drive off from the hirer)
- Parking coupons, what you need is actually $0.50 half hr and $2.00 night parking.
- Cashcard, make sure sufficient funds to last your for the period of rental ($5.00 per day will be quite a good benchmark - subjected to individual usage)
- Street directory if not familiar with the roads
After (when you return the car)
- Make sure any refundable deposit are returned to you as stated.
- Check the level of petrol and top up the require amount before returning
