10 tips to save on your car rental in and around San Juan Islands

  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 additional space, a convertible for summertime fun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to identify the best option 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak 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 rentals offer a great balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—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 booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just be sure to 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 added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when making a reservation with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
