10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Siesta Key

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically secures better rates and ensures greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are usually more affordable to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a nice balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies implement a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. 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 when booking through Expedia is a straightforward 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 necessary to rent a car.
