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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilizing filters on Expedia can help you discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to lock in lower rates and have access to a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals 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 premium cars—might be unavailable. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental companies enforce 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively 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 goes wrong during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
