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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to find the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on 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 better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance among cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions 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 charges. This is often the most cost-effective choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work—just ensure you 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 convenience may make it worthwhile.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking on Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a car.
