10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Ambergris Caye

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars 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 luxury models—might not be available. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements 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 charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for transactions.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help shield you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your travels. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
