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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect 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 in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more economical to rent and easier to park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might justify the 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 provide peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.

Can I drive in Phoenix with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
