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

  • 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 added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, use Expedia's filters to help you discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking early often results in lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, 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 available. Renters over 70 years old may also face similar restrictions. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  • 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 typically the most favorable option. Other policies might include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable; just ensure the car is returned empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: While you may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unforeseen expenses and provide peace of mind if something unexpected occurs during your travels. It's simple to add insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid any additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
