10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Glen Ellyn

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're after an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical 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 rates can vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure more favourable rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under 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 advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable too. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this added cost may be worthwhile for the convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind if unforeseen events occur during your trip. It’s easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.

Where can I find a Glen Ellyn hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Glen Ellyn, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various hire car companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Glen Ellyn with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
