10 tips to save on your car hire in and around West Hartford

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and preferred features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for ample space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match 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 travel date. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain better rates and enhanced availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise 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 categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might be restricted. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only 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 anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It's simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in West Hartford with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need 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 required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read the details before booking!
