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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  • 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 in advance, you're more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—like 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.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
