10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Canal Flats

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or a compact car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking early often results in lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more economical to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded 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 fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be accessible. This can also impact renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to 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 generally the most cost-effective option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in this instance.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an additional fee for picking up your rental car at airports, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental agencies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unplanned expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen circumstances during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
