10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Wessington Springs

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to make your reservation well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may 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 restrictions before making a booking.
  5. 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 fees. This is typically the most cost-effective option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable—just be sure to return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an extra fee for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind if anything unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to include car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
