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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy a broader selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposit requirements or daily fees, and certain car types—like SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
