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

  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 looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, filters on Expedia will assist you in finding the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, making it wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals 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 vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate 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 advantageous option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  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 unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get 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., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
