10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Barter Island

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to find lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be available to them. This policy can also apply to renters over 70. Always confirm the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • 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 usually the most favorable option. Other policies may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure the car is returned empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often comes with a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
