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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm weather drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to benefit from lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, 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: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected costs and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
