When it’s time for you to rent a car, there are four “money-saving hacks” that can save money the next time you book:
- Go off-site: Because of extra airport fees, it’s typically more expensive to rent a car from the airport
- Join the loyalty program: It’s free, and members receive regular emails with offers like free upgrades and discounted rentals
- Skip the extras: Don’t pay for a GPS system if you have a smartphone. Instead of buying rental insurance or a damage waiver, simply book the rental with your credit card
- Always refill yourself: Never take the pre-paid gas option
