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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible to enjoy during the summer, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower prices and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is typically the most economical choice. Other options, like full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, are also available. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs an additional surcharge, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something goes awry during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
