10 tips to save on your car rental around Lake Winnebago

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.

Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.

Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Age guidelines: Drivers younger than 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.

Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favorable option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also work well. Just make sure to 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 may justify the extra cost.

Know your payment options: Many 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 of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.

Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.

Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a vehicle.
