10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Eagle River

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia's filters can assist you in finding the ideal vehicle 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 before your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable—just remember to return the car 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 additional cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can safeguard you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
