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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or a compact car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices often vary depending on demand, making it advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to access lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, 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 cars offer a reasonable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring additional charges. This is generally the most beneficial option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Bishop with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must 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'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
