Lock in your rental car with Expedia and then pay nothing until the day you pick up your ride. It’s all part of our Book Now Pay Later option. Simply hand over a valid credit card to pay in full at the pickup spot. The rental car company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the security deposit. Some cheaper deals may have to be paid upfront — how you can pay will be clearly displayed in the booking summary. When you’re ready to explore the best of Sterling, Expedia will help you find your ideal wheels.

We all have times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That’s why we offer your money back on most prepaid reservations if you cancel six hours prior to the pickup time. Remember to double-check the policy — in some cases it’s not an option. Can’t find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.

Look into an intermediate. The most popular rental in Sterling, these rides are bigger than a compact and smaller than a full-size. You’ll get great mileage and affordability without forgoing comfort. Planning to road trip beyond Sterling? A roomier full-size or even a premium option may suit you better. For shorter trips, our economy and compact cars are ideal.

You need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related requirements to be aware of before you book your Sterling wheels. If you’re a younger motorist, rental providers will likely charge an additional daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you’re able to rent. The surcharge amount, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It’s always a good idea to compare the rules.

While terms and conditions may differ between outlets, the basics are a current driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

$10 and $12 were the lowest daily rates for rental cars in Sterling within the past seven days.

Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Sterling supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
