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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV to accommodate extra passengers, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, take advantage of filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your departure. By booking early, you’re more likely to benefit from lower rates and a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size options 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 categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable—just be sure to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may 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 protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind during your travels. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when making a reservation through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
