10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Baywood-Los Osos

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well before your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals 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 types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but this added convenience 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 if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look 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 car.
