10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Borrego Springs

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, use the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary due to demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. 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 surcharges, and certain vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before you make a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which is acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept 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 events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, look for rental options 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.
