10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Ackley

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower prices and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can be acceptable too; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
