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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary according to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to hire and easier to park in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals 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 types of vehicles—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 stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure the vehicle is returned empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the added convenience may 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 unnecessary expenses and provides additional peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to hire a car.

Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your hired car. Please read the regulations before booking!
