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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, use the filters on Expedia to identify 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 secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals adopt a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you'll need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This option is generally the most favorable. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you 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 added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to sidestep additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
