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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you're more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and can be easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before you book.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just make sure to return the car empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something goes wrong during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.
