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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you need a spacious SUV, a fun convertible for summer drives, or an economical car to save money, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are usually more affordable to rent and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. Renters over 70 years old may also face similar restrictions. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well; just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but it can be worth it for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, look for 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 required to rent a car.
