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

  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 drives, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the most suitable option 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 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 offer a balanced combination of 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 aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may require 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 policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience might justify the 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 evade unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you intend to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Polson 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 organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire 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 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
