10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Yucatan Peninsula

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or a compact car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the ideal 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in bustling areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, 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 requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from the airport, though the 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 sidestep unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your travels. It is straightforward to include car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, seek out rentals with unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.
