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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for those summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia's filters can help you discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, 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 restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most beneficial option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that situation.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the added cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek out rentals with unlimited mileage to prevent additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary for renting a vehicle.
