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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. Booking early typically allows you to lock in lower prices and ensures greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are usually less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, 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 airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
