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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most cost-effective option. Others may provide a full-to-empty or prepaid fueling option, which is acceptable too—just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports usually incurs a surcharge, but the 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 protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
