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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental prices and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—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 making a reservation.
  • 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 most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also work well—just ensure you return the vehicle empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding rental insurance is simple when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek out 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 car.
