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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary due to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy increased availability, especially during busy seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before 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 additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often comes with a surcharge, but the convenience may 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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for 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 car.
