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

  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 drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, the filters on Expedia can help you discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you’re likely to benefit from lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically have lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a nice balance between 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 age limitation can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. 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 is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable—just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. 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.
  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 provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive 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.
