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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • 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.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be offered. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • 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 fees. This is generally the best option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the extra convenience might justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
