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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired 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 ideal 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and benefit from greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and simpler to park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 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 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, yet it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Hershey with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check reviews. Combine your Hershey car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hershey?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Hershey. Be aware that most rental companies will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Read through the fine print before you book to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Hershey?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find a Hershey car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Hershey rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's best to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Hershey with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for 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 for you 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states 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 additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
