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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and features that suit your needs. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain more competitive rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and can be easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between 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—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling arrangements, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that the car is returned empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your travels. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is mandatory for renting a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Montgomery?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Montgomery. Keep in mind that most rental suppliers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Montgomery?
Before you can road trip around Montgomery, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage.

Where can I find a Montgomery car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Montgomery rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's best to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Montgomery with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the details before you book!
