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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • 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. Booking in advance often leads to lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver 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 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.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most favorable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure to return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's easy 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 avoid extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
