10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Upper Peninsula

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and specific features you need. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you’re more likely to access lower rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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 available. This guideline can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a reservation.
  • 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 incurring extra charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If your plans include long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
