10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Arnolds Park

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your reservation well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, 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 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies enforce a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. 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.
  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 provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  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 required to rent a car.
