10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Buffalo

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, Expedia's filters can help you discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and are easier to maneuver and 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 fees, and certain vehicle types, such as SUVs or luxury models, might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best option. Other policies may be full-to-empty or prepaid fueling; just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
