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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting your desired vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy enhanced availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters above the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, though it might be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you intend to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
