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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, make use of the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a solid compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. Similar restrictions can apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This option is generally the most economical. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  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 trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent any extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
