Deals Rental Offers
Below is a list of all U.S. Rental car companies that will
allow you to book your car rental online.
Insurance tip: When you go to pick your car up, you don't have to accept the
extra insurance they offer your Auto Insurance coverage covers rental vehicles.
The fees for this additional insurance can cost as much as the daily rental rate
at times and as long as you check with your current insurance provider prior to
picking up your rental car, you can avoid paying for coverage you already have.
Cost savings tip: Weekend rates are almost always cheaper than weekday
rates and often a 7 day rental is cheaper than a 4 weekday rental. If you
have flexibility on your travel dates, always try to include a Saturday as part
of your rental dates to get the best deals.
How
to save on car rentals:
-
Reserve now,
and shop opaque later. One of our favorite tips to get the best deal on car
rentals is to find a great retail rate now and reserve it. However, as you
get closer to your travel date be sure to check sites like
Hotwire.com to see if any
last-minute, discounted rates have become available. If there are better
options, you can always cancel your original reservation (which is free to
do) and book the discounted rate. Like hotels and airlines, car rental
agencies often have plenty of cars left unsold and offer them to sites like
Hotwire.com to sell at incredibly low
prices – as little as $11.95 a day.
-
Check out
off-airport rental locations. Airport fees and taxes in some locations can
really drive up the final price of your car rental, so it's best to shop
both on and off-airport locations in order to see where the low prices
really are after you total up the costs.
