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

  • 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 additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, 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 wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a solid 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 luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also work; just ensure to return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  • 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 exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen issues arise during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
