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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the ideal 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 vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies 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 is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
