10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Adirondack Region

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost savings, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to find lower rates and greater availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This policy can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making your reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also be convenient. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in the event of unforeseen circumstances during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary for renting a car.
