10 tips to save on your car rental in and around San Cristóbal de las Casas

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters 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 secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver 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 luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • 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 generally the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well—just ensure the car is returned empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively 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 something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
