10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Atlantic City

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise filters on Expedia to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. 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.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the expense.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen circumstances arise during your trip. It's straightforward to add 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 extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.

Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Atlantic City with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 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 the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
