10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Los Ángeles

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to find the perfect match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well before your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to lock in lower rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of 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 premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is usually the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be convenient. Just remember to return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might 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 unexpected costs and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple 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 incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
