10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Lake Louise

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: As rental prices vary with demand, it is advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, 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 restrictions 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 advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable too. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applicable for collecting your rental car from airports, although the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 added peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during your trip. It's straightforward to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive 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 essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Lake Louise with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
