I've always found it cheaper to get gas on my own. There is also a good selection of gas stations in Cocoa Beach, so it should not be inconvenient to stop for gas.

The gas option means you pay for the full tank - if you return the car 1/2 full you're still paying for a full tank. :(

The other 1/2 tank is a "gift" to the rental company (at your expense).

Some rentals have a $13.50 charge if you drive less than 75 miles. That should cover drive from airport and travel around cocoa

The ONE absolute certainty of a car rental is that it will ALWAYS be cheaper for you to get your own gas rather than selecting the gas option thru the rental company.

Thanks all for replies

And get a receipt from the gas station, and show them you filled the tank :)

Agree with one of the other comments . Rule #1 on any rental car is fill the tank before you return the car and take that option.
