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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise 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 wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and simpler to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, 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 be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most cost-effective option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added 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 help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Martinsburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
