Beep beep, time to book
Remember last summer when renting a car was pretty pricey? No? Okay, well it was - and currently, car rental prices are 27% higher* than this time last year. If you take that and account for the fact that fuel prices have also been on the rise, you could end up paying the price if you wait to book. Here are our two tips for saving on a rental car this summer: One, book ahead of time (as in now) and two, utilize search filters to find hybrid and electric car options. Go ahead and get those reservations out of the way for this summer or explore your local options below.
