10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Pigeon Forge

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're seeking an SUV for added space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise Expedia's filters to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to access lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and are easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be accessible. This can also impact renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before finalising your 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 charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which is acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge associated with picking up your rental car at airports, but this added convenience may be worth the extra 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 protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should something go awry during your travels. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential when renting a car.
