10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Buffalo Grove

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of cost, 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 available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, although it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in the event of unexpected issues during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

You may want to check the policy though because there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Buffalo Grove?
Drivers aged 21 and over can go road-tripping around Buffalo Grove in a hire vehicle. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to hire a car in Buffalo Grove?

Where can I find a Buffalo Grove hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the hire companies that are found in Buffalo Grove. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Buffalo Grove with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
