10 tips to save on your Potrero car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to find lower rates and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically have lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, 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 accessible. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most favorable option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning to take long road trips, search for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
