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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget considerations, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it is advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure 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 rent and are easier to manoeuvre in busy 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 can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to 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 option is usually the most beneficial. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: It is common to incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car from airports; however, this may be worthwhile for the added 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 help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you have plans for 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 required to hire a car.

Can I drive in Sonora with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you might 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
