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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel times.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver and park in crowded spaces. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced choice, providing comfort, reasonable cost, and good fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 might encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the best option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs an extra fee, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind during your travels. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
