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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel dates. Booking early often secures lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the most economical. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the extra cost may be justified for the convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
