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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're after an SUV for extra space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. 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—might 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 rental agreements 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 convenient option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable; just ensure to return the vehicle 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 added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides valuable peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Homer with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car.

Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip 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 any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
