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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for warm weather enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to access lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller vehicles are more affordable to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age criteria before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the best choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure to return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often involves a surcharge, but it may be worth the extra cost for the convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is mandatory to rent a car.
