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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by selecting vehicle types and features that suit your needs. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a great compromise between price, 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 not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a reservation.
  5. 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 typically the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also work, but ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  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 is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Princeton?

If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in Princeton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Canada, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
