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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's wise to secure your car well before your trip. Booking early often leads to lower rates and greater availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain car types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. 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, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be convenient; just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide you with peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
