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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for cost savings, use the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it’s wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure better rates and have a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. Similarly, renters over 70 may face restrictions. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the vehicle empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a simple process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning on taking long road trips, seek 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.
