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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save money, utilize the 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 secure your car well before your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 might encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may be unavailable. Renters over 70 years old may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements operate on 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 most favorable option. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports; however, 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 provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
