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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your travel date. Booking early increases your chances of obtaining lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded locations. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most economical choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are fine as well—just make sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often comes with a surcharge, but the convenience may be worth the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It’s easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
