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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are usually more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a nice balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • 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 extra fees. This is typically the best option. 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: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may be worth it.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily 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. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
