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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise 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 premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional costs.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
