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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, use Expedia’s filters to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower prices and have a wider selection, particularly during peak travel times.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle classes—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel plans, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that 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 as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something goes awry during your trip. Adding rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a vehicle.
