10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Eldorado at Santa Fe

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking early increases your chances of getting lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver 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 vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies 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 choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental agencies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unforeseen expenses and provides peace of mind if unexpected events occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
