10 tips to save on your car rental around Moda Center

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for sunny days, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters available on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your booking well ahead of your trip. By reserving early, you are likely to access lower rates and a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact vehicles are typically more affordable 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—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies require payment via credit card only.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your travels. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
