10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Mount Crested Butte

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for added 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 vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are usually more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a reasonable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals 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 typically the most favorable. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for 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.
