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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the ideal option for your journey.
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 a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a decent 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. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies solely accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.

Can I drive in Allentown with my current driver's license?

If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home.
