Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey. 2. **Book in advance to help lower costs:** Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons. 3. **Consider a smaller car for savings:** Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded locations. 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 fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. 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 agreements follow a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in that scenario. 6. **Save on city and airport pickups:** Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers might justify the extra cost. 7. **Know your payment options:** Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment. 8. **Understand your insurance coverage:** Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia. 9. **Consider unlimited mileage:** If you're planning to take long road trips, look for rental options 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 for renting a car. ### **Best time to rent a car in and around Bakersfield** The best time to rent a car in and around Bakersfield is February, when prices are slightly low and demand is also low, making it a great value month.
