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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters who are over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • 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 option is generally the most favorable. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well, but just ensure 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; however, the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide you with peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out 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.
