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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and specific features you want. Whether you need an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver in congested areas. Mid-size cars 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 types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making your reservation.
  5. 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 usually the most favorable option. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be convenient; just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at the airport, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
