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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features that suit your needs. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car to save on costs, Expedia’s filters can assist you in finding the ideal vehicle for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking early often ensures better rates and wider availability, particularly during busy seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-sized rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This may also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This option is typically the most beneficial. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for transactions.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help mitigate unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a vehicle.
