10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Los Angeles

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and have a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy locations. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also work well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards as a payment method.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, search for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary for renting a car.
