10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Minot

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying the type of vehicle and desired features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, filters on Expedia can assist you in finding the perfect match 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 car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are generally more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a solid compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making your booking.
  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 charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which can also be acceptable—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, though the convenience can make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees.
