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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget considerations, utilizing filters on Expedia can assist you in discovering the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may frequently incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience could make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unexpected occur 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 rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
