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

  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 economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more economical to rent and easier to park in busy locations. Mid-size rentals offer a solid balance of 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—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals may operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure the car is returned empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may 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 prevent unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It is straightforward to add car rental insurance when reserving through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to hire a car.

Can I drive in Burlington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's 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 state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
