10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Las Cruces

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often secures lower rates and ensures 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 rentals strike a good balance 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 types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy 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 mandatory to rent a car.

Where can I find a Las Cruces hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Las Cruces, we recommend reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the hire desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Las Cruces with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get 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 required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before you book!
