10 tips to save on your Albuquerque car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, making it advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater 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 in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a nice compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 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 car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs an additional fee, but the convenience it offers may be worth the cost.
  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 unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

Can I drive in Albuquerque with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
