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

  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 extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the best 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 trip. Booking early often allows you to lock in lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a solid balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may offer 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 an additional fee, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies typically accept only 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. It's easy to add insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
