10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Santa Fé

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you are likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This policy can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge; however, it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a simple process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
