10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Aliso Viejo

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically have lower rental rates and are easier to manoeuvre in busy 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 certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you'll need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports may incur a surcharge, but the convenience it offers could make it worthwhile.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of any unexpected incidents during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when making your reservation with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning 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 necessary to rent a car.
