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

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 economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in locating the ideal vehicle for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's prudent to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to access lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested 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 vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This also applies to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals require 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
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.
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 added peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in Flagstaff with my current driver's license?

If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need 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 for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
