10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Post Falls

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver 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 vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may require 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also work, but ensure you return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Renting a car from the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily 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 of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a simple process when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
