10 tips to save on your car rental in and around West Point

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option 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 ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are 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 can be easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  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 costs and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen arises during your trip. It is straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in West Point with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need 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., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
