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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're after an SUV for added space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to arrange your car hire well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to secure better rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
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.
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—might not be accessible. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Typically, there is a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in the event of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
