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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV to accommodate extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy wider availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you 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 make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only 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 of unforeseen events during your trip. It's simple to add rental car insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a vehicle.
