10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Eagle River

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the ideal 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 ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between 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 rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is often the most advantageous. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards as a means of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if unforeseen circumstances arise during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in Eagle River with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
