10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Long Beach

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost savings, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure lower prices and have a better selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle classes—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age restrictions prior to booking.
  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 generally the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work as long as you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but this added cost may be justified by the convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. 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. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
