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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you identify 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a greater selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. Additionally, renters over 70 may face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you'll need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is usually the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car 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: Many 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 something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise choice for your upcoming Olds adventure. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Olds with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Canada, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
