Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia's filters can help you discover the ideal match for your journey. 2. **Book in advance to help lower costs:** Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early typically allows you to lock in lower prices and ensures better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons. 3. **Consider a smaller car for savings:** Compact cars are usually less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency. 4. **Age guidelines:** Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70\. 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 charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling arrangements, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the vehicle with an empty tank in those cases. 6. **Save on city and airport pickups:** Picking up your rental car at the airport often comes with an additional fee, but the convenience it offers might make it worthwhile. 7. **Know your payment options:** Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment. 8. **Understand your insurance coverage:** Car rental insurance can help protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia. 9. **Consider unlimited mileage:** If you're planning on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges. 10. **Bring your driver's license and ID:** A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle. ### **Best time to rent a car around Plaza de Colon** The best value period to rent a car around Plaza de Colon is November, when prices are at their lowest and demand is moderately low.
