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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced choice 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 accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent any additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
