10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Fort Drum

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical 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 rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy a greater selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a nice balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories, like SUVs or luxury models, may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
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 fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but it might be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept 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. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you anticipate taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
