10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Buena Vista

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your reservation well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental prices and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size options 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 categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before completing your booking.
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 typically the most convenient 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.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case 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 sidestep additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
