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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure better prices and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. 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 on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be valid. Just make sure to return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily 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 events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
