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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure better rates and enjoy greater vehicle availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles 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 classes—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel plans, which are also acceptable, but remember to return the car empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports 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 incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If your plans include long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is essential for renting a car.
