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

  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 the summer months, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you find the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals enforce 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 beneficial option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this instance.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  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 provides peace of mind should anything unexpected arise during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning 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 required in order to rent a car.

How much is a rental car per day in Davenport?

Can I rent a car from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Intl. Airport (SJC)?
Yes, you can. Once you arrive at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Intl. Airport (SJC), you'll find the rental companies located directly across from Terminal B. Choose from Dollar, Enterprise or Alamo. Thrifty and Fox are other suppliers worth checking out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Davenport car reservation?
We have good news! You should be eligible for a total refund if you cancel at least six hours prior to pickup. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to go over your car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Davenport?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Davenport. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a great deal of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Zipping into cramped parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Davenport?
Davenport is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:
  • Concord is approximately 105 kilometres from Davenport. Well-known sights like Six Flags Hurricane Harbour Concord deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Around 88 kilometres away, San Francisco is also a hit with travellers. Set aside time to check out Pier 39 while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this vibrant city.
  • Get out into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Glacier Point. It's approximately 241 kilometres from Davenport.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Davenport with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your preferred car class and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Davenport car rental with flight or hotel bookings and start your road trip with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Davenport?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Davenport. It should be noted that most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a large car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Davenport?
Before you can hit the road in Davenport, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What is the cheapest car rental in Davenport?
The two lowest daily prices on offer in Davenport within the past seven days were AU$117 and AU$120. Now that's what we'd call a bargain! 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 Davenport?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then choose your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Davenport or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Davenport car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that operate in Davenport. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Davenport with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, 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 required, be aware 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 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
