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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer adventures, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a 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 fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often comes with a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is easy when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
