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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, the filters on Expedia can assist you in finding the ideal vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to book your car well ahead of your trip. By reserving early, you’re more likely to secure better rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested 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 surcharges, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most cost-effective option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it provides may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected costs and provide peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is required to rent a vehicle.
