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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, leverage the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better vehicle availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers younger than 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making your reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies prefer credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you steer clear of unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to include car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
