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

  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 economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option 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 ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often results in lower rates and improved 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 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Other policies might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the convenience it provides might justify the extra cost.
  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 unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind in case of any unforeseen incidents during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you intend to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential to rent a car.

These roomy vehicles will often include features like high-end upholstery and sunroofs as standard. And with such a powerful motor, you'll be cruising comfortably no matter how far you roam. Our full-size vehicles are an excellent option whether you're on the road with the family or flying solo.
Where can I go on a road trip from Brentwood?
Brentwood has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider area. Here are some places to consider:
  • You'll discover California's Great America and loads more interesting attractions in Santa Clara. From Brentwood, it's roughly 64 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Brentwood with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Brentwood car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Brentwood?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Brentwood is 21. An extra fee for young drivers will apply, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between providers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Brentwood?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What is the cheapest car rental in Brentwood?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a car rental in Brentwood was AU$70. The next lowest was AU$71 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Brentwood?
Yes, and the good news is providers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Brentwood and drive off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Brentwood car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Brentwood rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Brentwood with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
