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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  • 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 in advance, you’re more likely to access lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during busy seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as 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.
  • 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 fees. This is often the most advantageous option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle 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 justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only 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. It's simple to add rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
