What you need to know about car rentals

Need to rent a car for your next vacation? Before booking, take a look at our commonly asked questions below:

How to get a cheap rental car?

The best way to make savings on a rental vehicle is to:

Compare lots of different cheap car rental rates!
Prepay for your rental and get some of the cheapest rates.
Check for the latest deals.
Set a price drop alert and get an email when prices are low for your location.
Don’t get an airport car rental since airport locations have higher prices. An off-airport drop-off rental location will also help you to make big savings.
Know what you need (how much fuel and mileage you’ll use and the required size of the car).
Book in advance, as soon as you know what you need. No credit card needed—you simply pay at pickup.

Are there car rental locations that accept debit cards?

Yes, some companies accept debit cards on upcoming reservations, though they will usually require additional identification and proof of insurance. They may also need to run a credit check. Cash, pre-paid cards, and gift cards are never accepted for any reservation type.

Do I need insurance for renting a car?

Yes. You will need to be insured in order to drive car rentals. Firstly, you should check if your car insurance or your credit card covers your car for rent. If it doesn’t, you can always book one with the rental car company – just be careful to check what it covers! As a U.S. Citizen, you also have the option to purchase insurance with CarRentals.com at check out, since it isn't usually included in rental rates. When renting in some countries, such as Mexico, you have to buy an additional local insurance.

Do all rental car companies require a deposit?

While not all rental locations ask for a deposit at pick up, many do. Sums can vary very much depending on the company and the car class. Luxury cars for rent will take a higher deposit than minivans or economy car rentals. Be sure to have enough money on your credit card to lay down a deposit.

How old do I have to be to rent a car?

You usually must be between 25 and 65 years of age for renting cars. This can vary depending on the location. You might still be able to get cheap car rentals if you’re outside of this age range, but be prepared to pay an additional fee or purchase additional insurance.
