10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Drake Bay

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • 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 lock in lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium options—might be unavailable. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you are required to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is typically the most advantageous. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure the car is returned empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental agencies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning a long road trip, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
