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

  • 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 extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often leads to lower rates and a greater selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller vehicles are less expensive to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals 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 categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you steer clear of unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
