What is the difference between a one-way car rental and a round trip .

A round trip is when you pick up and return your rental car to the same place. A one-way car rental lets you pick up from one place, such as an airport, and drop off in another location, say downtown or near your hotel.  

Are there any top deals on one-way car rentals? 

Absolutely. To find our best deals enter your pick-up location, then enter a different drop-off location. Add in your travel dates and times, then click search. You’ll get instant results offering you a range of one-way car rental deals. Click a deal you like and see a choice of nearby drop-off points and select the one that suits you.

How much does it cost to rent a car one way? 

The cost varies depending on the car type, your pick-up and drop-off locations, your travel dates, and more. Simply enter your travel details and compare our latest deals. Some car rental partners charge an extra fee for one-way rental. 

Can I choose the car type when I rent a car one-way?  

Yes, you can pick the car to fit your trip. For an epic camping trip in a national park, an SUV has the practical space and handling to tackle rugged roads. For a bit of wow on that special occasion, a luxury or convertible brings the style and fun. Want to save on fuel costs? An economy, mid-size, or compact car is perfect. Use our car type filter to narrow results and find your ideal one-way rental car.  

Which car rental companies offer one-way trips? 

All the main car rental companies offer one-way travel options, but availability depends on your pick-up and drop-off plans. See deals from companies like Avis, Enterprise, Sixt, and others, and use the car company filter to select your favorite suppliers and compare prices. 

Where should I visit when I rent a car for a one-way trip?  

Fly into LAX and pick up a car rental in Los Angeles to drive along the Pacific Coast Highway to the Big Sur for an incredible coastal journey, taking in some of the most famous beaches in the world. Rent a car in San Francisco and begin an epic week-long road trip to Seattle to grab a fresh cup of coffee and take in the sights before flying back.

Do one-way car rentals have free cancellation?  

Yes, many of the car rental deals for one-way trips include free cancellation. You also have pay at pick-up offers, so you only pay at the collection point and won’t be charged a fee if you cancel before you arrive. Check the details for the exact terms of the cancellation policy and simply book the car you want.  

Why should I use Travelocity to book my one-way car rental? 

Take the hassle out of comparing different deals from different suppliers and do it all right here in just a couple of clicks. It’s easy to find one-way car rental deals and select the best pick-up and drop-off locations to suit your travel plans. And when you book a flight back home or a hotel stay with Travelocity, you’ll save even more. So, trust Travelocity to get you on the road for less.

One-Way Car Rental

Start a one-way car rental, why rent a car one-way.

Forget about returning your rental car to its original location. You can rent a car one way and spend more time exploring at your own pace without backtracking. Fly into one destination, enjoy the freedom of the open road, then return your one-way rental car at your final destination. 

With so many destinations to choose from, why pick just one? Consider a one-way car rental from Boston, where you can venture through NYC and down to Washington, D.C. Other popular one-way routes include:

●       Miami to Key West

●       Los Angeles to Seattle

●       Seattle to San Francisco

One-way car rentals are also great for last-minute travel changes, such as canceled or delayed flights. So whether you’re looking to drive across town, across the country, or you’re just seeking some additional flexibility, Alamo offers some of the best one-way rental deals to suit your needs.  

How to Book a One-Way Car Rental

Fill out your trip details in the reservation widget on this page. In the first field, you’ll be prompted to enter your pickup location. Beneath this, simply uncheck the box that says “return to same location.” A new box will appear for you to add your return location. Then, continue booking your rental car like normal.  

Want to Drive One-Way Across the Border?

One-way rentals are permitted when driving between the U.S. and Canada; however, driver regulations may apply. For example, if a Canadian licensed driver plans to rent a vehicle in Canada and drop it off in the U.S., the law requires that he/she rent and drive a car with Canadian license plates. Only select locations allow driving your rental from the U.S. to Mexico, and additional insurance is required for these reservations. Vehicles rented in Mexico may not be driven into the U.S.

Find the Best One-Way Car Rental Deals and Tips

Sign up for  Alamo Insiders , and you’ll automatically save 5% on your one-way car rental.

Flexible? Update the date and time of your booking to search for the cheapest one-way car rental rates. All car classes can be reserved for a one-way rental, but prices vary by location, vehicle, date and availability. To ensure the car class you’d like to drive is available, book in advance. Please note that the pickup and return dates you enter into your reservation are factored into your rate. If you need to extend your return date or return your rental car early, rates could vary because your dates have changed.

Frequently asked questions

• How does KAYAK find such low rental car prices? KAYAK compares rental car prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.
• How do I find the best car rental deals on KAYAK? A simple rental car search at https://www.kayak.com/cars scans for prices on hundreds of travel sites in seconds. We gather car rental deals from across the web and put them in one place. Then on the search results page you can use various filters to compare your options for your preferred rental car type and easily choose the best car rental deal from all of the deals coming straight from the travel sites to your screen, with no extra fee from KAYAK.
• What is special about comparing rental car deals on KAYAK? Looking for the lowest price? We can make that happen. Our car rental price sort gives you quick access to the cheapest and/or the most expensive deals—it’s your trip, so it’s up to you. Sometimes, the same rental car deal will be available on several provider sites. All of these providers are made visible for you to choose from, but we highlight one main car rental provider based on things like customer popularity or ratings.
• What kind of cars can I rent on KAYAK? On KAYAK you can find deals on all types of rental cars including small, medium, large, SUV, van, luxury, pickup truck, convertible and commercial vehicles.
• What do I need to know before booking a car rental? Renting a car can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time or you’re renting in a new country. Finding the right price, understanding the add-ons and staying up to date with policy changes can be a challenge. That’s why KAYAK has produced the ultimate guide to renting a car to help you cut though the jargon and make the right choice for your rental car. Find tips and insights for how to book your rental, what car rental insurance you’ll need, how to deal with a car rental agency and what extra fees to expect (and avoid!).
• What is the minimum age to rent a car? The minimum legal age to rent a car depends on the country where you’re renting. In the USA and Canada, drivers must typically be at least 21. However, some states and provinces allow drivers as young as 18 years old to rent a car. In Europe and Asia, the minimum age varies between 18 to 21 years old but some agencies might require drivers to be at least 25. Keep in mind that most agencies add daily fees for renters below 25 years old.
• Can I return a rental car to a different location? You want to pick up a car rental in one city and drop it off in another location? We can arrange that for you. When performing a car rental search on KAYAK, simply select the option "Different drop-off". You'll then be able to enter both your desired pick-up and drop-off locations. Most car rental agencies call this option a "one-way rental" and charge a return fee.
• Can new drivers rent a car? New driver policies vary for each car rental agency. While some require renters to hold a driver’s license for a minimum of 1 year, others only ask for a valid driver’s license for the duration of the rental period. We recommend new drivers to confirm the requirements directly with the rental agency.
• Can I rent a car without a credit card? Renting a car without a credit card is less common but not impossible. Many agencies allow debit card car rentals from airport locations as long as you provide proof of return travel. Be aware that the agency might run a credit check on you and will most likely place an authorized hold on your account as a security deposit. If you plan on paying with a debit card, it’s always a good idea to check the conditions with the rental agency before booking.
• Can I drive cross country in a rental car? In the USA, it's typically not an issue to drive across state lines or to cross the border to Canada. However, you'll most likely pay an extra insurance fee if you want to travel to Mexico. Similar rules apply to Europe, as you'll need to cover a cross-border fee if you want to cross from one country to another. Failing to do so will most likely invalidate your car rental insurance. Crossing borders in Africa and Asia is generally more difficult and additional border documentation is necessary. We recommend always informing the rental agency about your planned itinerary.
• Is it cheaper to rent a car at the airport or off-site? You will generally find the best deals if you select an off-site airport location. Airport car rental agencies offer a very convenient option for renters who want to pick up a car directly on-site. However, as demand is often higher, prices also tend to get slightly more expensive. Some off-site rental agencies offer shuttle service from the airport.

• Your flight got delayed and it may be faster to get a rental car and drive to your next destination.

One-way car rental with Hertz

Even though the rental return process is generally completed with the original rental location, occasionally there will be times when it’s actually easier for you to return the car at your destination, rather than returning to the same place you picked it up from, like if you’re embarking on a long road trip that ends a long way from where you started.

That’s where one-way car rental from Hertz comes into play. One-way car rental gives you the flexibility to rent a car from one location and return it to another without hassle. Discover more about one-way car rental with Hertz.

Why might you need a one-way car rental?

The option of dropping your car off at a different location than where you picked it up offers great flexibility. For example, a one-way car rental can make the following scenarios a smoother ride:

• Moving to a new city that’s far away from where you live now.
• Travelling for business and staying there for a few days when you arrive.
• Taking a one-way road trip that covers a long distance.

Consider a one-way rental as your means to take control of a bad travel situation (like a delayed flight), and book a one-way rental to get home

What are the benefits of one-way car rental?

The biggest benefit of one-way car rental is simple. It’s a far more convenient way to rent a car because it allows you to complete your travel without having to worry about how you get the car back to the pickup point.

Not only does this give you the freedom and peace of mind to enjoy your trip, but it also saves you time and money on transportation costs.

Are there one-way fees if booked in advance?

If you want to return your car rental to a different location, you may be charged a one-way fee. This covers the cost of us getting the car back to its original location on your behalf.

Fees are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on where the vehicle is and where it needs to be taken back. They will typically be assessed at the  time of booking and can vary depending on factors such as:

• Drop-off location
• Rental duration
• Type of vehicle

The easiest way to get a one-way car rental fee quote for your upcoming trip is by starting a reservation with Hertz today .

However, with careful planning, you can potentially minimize one-way car rental fees, by:

• Looking out for special offers - Keep an eye out for special offers , coupons and discounts throughout the year which can save you money on one-way rentals with Hertz.
• Experiment with different drop-off points - If you can be a little flexible, try experimenting with different drop-off points that might be closer to your destination. Some drop-off points may be cheaper than others.  

Notify Hertz and confirm drop-off arrangements if your plans change

At Hertz, we understand that your plans can change. However, if you’re out on the road and you’re thinking of returning your rental car to a different location, it’s important to notify us as soon as possible by:

• Contacting our customer support team or the specific rental location where the car was picked up.
• Providing us with details of any changes such as the new drop-off location and date.

Please note : You can only drop your vehicle off at a different location if it has been confirmed with Hertz in advance, this is because drop-off arrangements may be subject to the availability of drop-off spaces at the desired location. So, if you wish to return your rental car to a different location, it’s best to notify us beforehand to ensure a smooth experience.

Preserving Your Vehicle’s Lifespan with One-Way Car Rentals

Choosing a one-way car rental isn’t just about the journey or the destination. It’s also about ensuring your personal vehicle remains in peak condition for years to come. Every mile you drive causes wear and tear on your vehicle, which can lead to costly repairs or depreciation in its value over time.

The Hidden Costs of Long Drives on Personal Cars

It’s not just about the fuel! Driving long distances on your car can rack up hidden expenses that many tend to overlook. Let’s break it down:

Environmental Impact of Fresh Rentals vs Older Cars

One of the less obvious benefits of opting for one-way car rentals is the environmental aspec t. Rental companies frequently update their fleet, ensuring they have newer models. These cars, in general, have better emissions standards and consume fuel more efficiently than older personal cars.

Insurance Implications on Mileage

Your car insurance premium is partly determined by the number of miles you drive annually. The more you drive, the higher the risk from an insurer’s perspective. By reducing the mileage on your personal car and using one-way rentals for longer trips, you may just see a favorable impact on your insurance premiums over time.

CENTER FOR INSURANCE POLICY AND RESEARCH – Get to grips with how mileage affects your car insurance rates.

Keep the New Car Feel for Longer

There’s an undeniable charm about a car that still feels new, even years after purchase. Less driving means less clutter, fewer spills, and reduced wear and tear on the interior.

Choose one-way rentals for those more extended excursions. The result is your car remains a sanctuary of fresh scents and pristine seats.

One-way car rentals can be one of the priciest propositions in the travel industry. If you drop your car off in a different place than you picked it up, your car rental company has to get the vehicle back to where it belongs — and it often passes the associated costs on to you. One-way renters may be penalized with high base rates or drop-off surcharges.

Despite the added cost, travelers choose one-way car rentals for a variety of reasons: to avoid retracing their steps on vacation, to take the place of an even more expensive flight or to take a cross-country road trip without putting miles on their own car.

If you’re considering a one-way car rental, read on to learn how to minimize the cost and whether special arrangements called “driveaways” could be a less expensive alternative.

What Do One-Way Car Rentals Cost?

One-way car rentals are sometimes priced more or less the same as roundtrip rentals, but in many cases you’ll have to pay more due to one of two factors: drop-off surcharges and high base rates. The drop-off surcharge, which can add up to hundreds of dollars, is the penalty some companies charge for leaving your vehicle in a different location than where you picked it up. Even if your company doesn’t sock you with a drop-off surcharge, you may still pay more for your one-way rental because of higher base rates for one-way rentals.

We tested prices on Kayak.com to see how significant the differences were for one-way vs. roundtrip rentals. Here are the total prices with taxes and fees for a seven-day rental in each of the British locations below:

Pick-up and drop-off in London: $156 Pick-up and drop-off in Birmingham: $163 Pick-up in London and drop-off in Birmingham: $242

The final rate, according to the Europcar website where Kayak found it, includes an unspecified one-way fee.

Changing countries could set you back even more. Check out these price differences (again based on a one-week rental, sourced on Kayak):

Pick-up and drop-off in Paris: $173 Pick-up and drop-off in Barcelona: $137 Pick-up in Paris, drop-off in Barcelona: $810

The cost break-down on the Paris-to-Barcelona rental included $161.93 for the car rental, $134.97 in taxes and a $512.88 “drop charge.”

How to Save on a One-Way Car Rental

1. Pay in advance. Many car rental companies, including Hertz, Budget, Europcar and Payless, offer discounts to those who prepay for their rental at the time of reservation rather than when they return the vehicle. Discounts can total up to 35 percent — but the prepayment is generally nonrefundable, so it’s only worth doing if you’re sure your plans won’t change.

2. Use coupons and discounts. Many of the major car rental companies offer special coupon codes to help you save on various rentals, and sometimes these include one-way rentals (or other offers that might apply, such as senior discounts). To find these, we suggest using an aggregator or booking site such as Kayak or Priceline to figure out which rental companies have the cheapest rates on your itinerary, and then going directly to those companies’ websites to browse their coupon codes. You can also use coupon sites such as RetailMeNot.com and Coupons.com.

3. Follow the seasons. At certain times of the year, car rental companies need to move their fleet from one part of the country to another. Just as travelers head south for the winter, rental car fleets generally move down to Florida and other Southern states from New England and other Northern regions. Then, in the spring, there’s a mass exodus of vehicles going back up north. If you’re headed in the right direction, you could get a good rate on a one-way car rental from companies looking to move their vehicles.

For example, on Kayak we found a rate of just $124 for a weeklong April rental starting in Miami and ending in New York City. We tried the same itinerary in July, and the price skyrocketed to $698. Similarly, a rental starting in Phoenix and ending in Seattle was $119 in May, but $644 in November.

4. Consider a driveaway. In the U.S., this is an arrangement — usually facilitated by a driveaway company — in which the owner of a car pays for a driver to move his or her vehicle from one location to another. Driveaways can be a great option for flexible travelers looking to take a low-cost road trip without renting a car or putting miles on their own vehicle. The driver typically pays only for lodging, food, tolls and any fuel costs beyond the first tank of gas.

The biggest driveaway company in the U.S. is AutoDriveaway.com , which relocates vehicles around the United States. You must be at least 23 years old and have a clean driving record. You will also need to post a cash deposit of several hundred dollars, which will be refunded to you when you deliver the car to its final location in good condition.

Ontario-based TorontoDriveaway.com is another option, requiring drivers at least 30 years of age with a clean driving record and references. This company also requires a deposit.

You won’t have unlimited time for your trip if you’re doing a driveaway; the companies will expect the vehicle to be delivered within a set number of days, with some time for rest stops, meals and a little bit of sightseeing. You may be penalized if you deliver the car late or go outside your mileage allowance.

Driveaways are best for travelers who are flexible about their itinerary and don’t mind making plans at the last minute.

Best car rental sites to book your next road trip

When it comes to booking rental cars, there are quite a few websites to choose from. If you're not set on booking directly with one of the big national chains like Enterprise, Avis, Budget, Hertz or Alamo, you could potentially save even more money by using one of the options below.

Whether you have elite status with a car rental company or not, there are different ways to compare rental companies and find the best pricing for your next rental.

We always recommend pricing a rental directly with a national chain website so you have an idea of the going rate before moving on to the aggregator sites that compare multiple offers.

Costco Travel

For Costco members, this is a no-brainer. Costco negotiates rates on everything from vacation packages and cruises to car rentals for its members. The site allows you to compare prices from participating Alamo, Avis, Budget and Enterprise locations and shows a grid of available car types and prices across those companies so you can make the best decision.

For the purposes of pricing, an airport was chosen below, but once you enter your desired city, you can select different locations within that city from a map and compare pricing.

There are a few rules for renting with Costco: The primary renter needs to be a Costco member, but additional drivers do not, and drivers must be 25 years of age or older.

Once you've selected your car and are ready to place a reservation, you'll need to provide your Costco membership number. One of the perks of Costco Travel is that you can make a reservation without worrying about paying until you pick up your rental car.

AutoSlash is a car rental aggregator, meaning it pulls information from many different rental sites to allow you to compare pricing. One of its interesting features is that it allows you to enter any memberships, credit cards or frequent flyer programs you belong to, and it will search for applicable discounts.

TPG's Katie Genter wrote a comprehensive guide to using AutoSlash for rental car shopping.

Once you enter in all relevant information, AutoSlash will email you a link to view your quotes. You can then choose to book now and pay now or pay later.

One of the interesting features that AutoSlash offers is the ability to track rental car prices. Once you've made a reservation with free cancellation, go back to the AutoSlash website and fill out the form to track price drops for your rental . You will need your current reservation information to fill out the form.

You will then be able to check the boxes for any of the rental car companies you'd like to track and also choose only to receive an email alert if the price drops below what you have currently reserved. This could potentially save you money and allow you to rebook at a lower rate.

Often referred to as the "Airbnb of rental car sites," Turo has definitely caught on in cities across the U.S. and even some Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom. In short, Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental site that can also be accessed and managed through an app.

Many TPG staffers have used Turo and share positive experiences in the TPG guide to renting with Turo . Some of the advantages of using this service include the lower fee for drivers under 25 years of age, that delivery service can sometimes be available, and renting from a local could be more convenient than seeking out a rental car location.

The one downside would be that you usually have to return the car to the same location where you picked it up, so if you're looking for a one-way rental, a traditional rental car site might work better for you in that situation.

A few quick test searches found rental prices equal to or less expensive than traditional rental car companies. The handy map will show you the locations of all the rentals available in your area for the dates that you search.

While Turo doesn't have airline partners like the big car rental companies, there are still opportunities to earn points and miles on your rentals . Since Turo codes in the travel category, be sure to use a credit card that earns you the most points for travel.

Related: Are Turo car rentals covered by credit card insurance?

Maybe you've only searched Expedia for hotels or flights, but it also offers rental cars and the option to book all trip components together if you'd like. When searching for hotels, you can check the box to add a flight and add a car.

Expedia's car rental interface is pretty straightforward and convenient. You can use filters to search for options like refundable rentals and the ability to pay at the counter. It's also a transparent booking site, meaning you will see the company you're renting with before deciding to book.

In 2022, Expedia Group announced a new rewards program called One Key which would unify rewards across its family of brands: Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz and vacation rental site Vrbo. There's still no official launch date in 2023 for this new program.

If you are a AAA member, check the AAA website for your area to see if there are car rental deals. The AAA site will search multiple car rental sites for you to find the best deals. If you aren't already a AAA member, you can read the TPG guide to AAA membership to learn more about the benefits and determine if it's worth it for you to join.

Some of the exclusive member benefits for car rentals include up to 20% off the base rate in the U.S. and Canada, up to 10% off the base rate on international rentals, free use of one child safety seat, and no charge for up to four additional drivers who are AAA members.

There are additional exclusive benefits through AAA's partnership with Hertz , such as 10% off a tank of gas when purchasing gas at local prices, and you can return the vehicle with any amount of fuel. The young renters fee is also waived for members ages 20-24.

To start the search process, I had to enter my Hertz membership number, and then it asked me to verify my full name and ZIP code to validate that I was a AAA member. The search feature offers pay-now and pay-at-the-counter options as well as AAA member rates and standard rates. You can even filter by car company, and the top of the search screen shows you what discounts are available with each company.

Bottom line

There are many search options available online for finding rental car discounts. Each site has its pros and cons, so we recommend finding a site that works best for you, and that leverages any elite status or membership that you might already have.

And no matter what, make sure you have car insurance coverage through your credit card or insurance agency, or purchase it through the car rental company.

Skip the Extra Costs: Here's How to Avoid 5 Sneaky Car Rental Fees

• When it comes to car rentals, there’s a lot more than the base rate to consider when you’re comparing costs.
• Here are five hidden car rental fees that can impact the total price, and ways to spend less.

It happens all the time: You’re searching for a rental car and you see a rate that looks appealing, but once you complete your reservation (or even worse, once you see your final bill) that reasonable per-day price doesn’t seem so reasonable anymore. That’s because of all the extra car rental fees that get tacked on to the base price.

Whether you think of them as hidden car rental fees or sneaky add-ons, there are a lot of optional car rental fees that can get rolled into your final cost, and they can sometimes depend entirely on which airport or rental company you choose.

COMPARE AND SAVE:  10 Best Car Rental Booking Sites for Cheap Prices

How to Avoid Sneaky Car Rental Fees

“What consumers may think are ‘hidden fees’ are actually explained in the rental policy, which is why it’s so important to read it,” says Lucy Bueti, Vice President, Rental Cars for  Priceline . “My best piece of advice would be to always read through the rental car company’s rental policy and rules prior to booking, as fees or additional charges will vary from one company and one situation to another.”

Ready to look under the figurative hood? Here are four common rental car fees to watch out for—and how to avoid them.

1. Fees for Renting at the Airport

It often costs rental car companies extra to operate at airport locations, and some local, county, and state governments add on additional tourism-related taxes beyond the airport fee. “The rental car companies are just going to pass on those costs to the traveler,” says Sally French, a travel expert at NerdWallet. In fact, a NerdWallet analysis in 2022 found that it’s about 26 percent more expensive to rent a car at the airport compared to renting from a nearby location.

EXTRA RENTAL CAR INSURANCE?: Which Optional Car Rental Fees Can You Skip?

How to Avoid Airport Rental Car Fees

The simple solution is to price out a car rental at an off-site location not too far from the airport to see if it’s cheaper. When you’re calculating the total price, just don’t forget to factor in the cost of an Uber or Lyft ride to the rental site, along with making the mental calculation of how much the extra time is worth to you.

It may also save you money to pick up the car at a downtown location but return it to the airport. “It’s often not more expensive to return the car at the airport, so you only have to deal with the inconveniences one time,” notes Chris Hutchins, host of the podcast All the Hacks .

2. Extra Driver Fees

If you want the flexibility that comes with allowing multiple people to get behind the wheel of your rental, you may end up paying an extra fee. “Some states mandate a free second driver in certain circumstances, while others do not,” says Priceline’s Bueti. “Car rental companies themselves may impose an extra charge for additional drivers, while others may waive that fee as a policy or from time to time as a promotional inclusion.”

SUN AND SAND: 10 Best All-Inclusive Beach Resorts in the World

How to Avoid Extra Driver Fees

Joining a car rental company’s loyalty or rewards program can sometimes eliminate extra driver fees for spouses or domestic partners. Companies like  Dollar ,  Hertz ,  Sixt , and  Thrifty  offer this perk for members (some with policies that vary depending on the rental and location, so check to make sure your situation applies). Some companies also waive the second-driver fee for spouses/domestic partners if you’re an AAA or AARP member.

If you’re a Costco member, renting a car through  Costco Travel can also be a good move. The additional driver fee is waived for rentals with Avis and Budget in the United States and for rentals with Alamo and Enterprise in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, Ireland, and Spain.

3. Fee for Drivers Under Age 25

Rental car companies typically charge an added fee for drivers under the age of 25—often referred to as the Under 25 fee—as younger renters are considered to be higher-risk drivers. The average young driver surcharge is about $25 per day, but can go as high as $50 based on the rental location, company, and type of car.

How to Avoid the Young Driver Surcharge

For AAA members who rent through Hertz , the young driver fee is waived (Hertz’ standard daily fee for drivers 25 years and younger is about $20). USAA members can also get this perk with certain car rental brands . Another strategy is to price out the young driver fee at different rental companies, then compare it to car sharing services like  Getaround  and  Zipcar , which charge tiered fees for drivers that decrease the older the driver is. If you’re under 25, it’s important to do this research well in advance since in addition to additional fees, most companies have a minimum age to rent or a limited set of car classes, so you may have fewer options to begin with.

4. Cancellation Fees for Prepaid Rates

When searching for a rental car , you might be tempted by a lower rental car price that’s only available if you prepay for a reservation. But read the rules and policies on this carefully, as you’re typically charged a fee if you need to cancel your reservation. 

How to Avoid Cancellation Fees

“I try not to prepay,” says Hutchins. “Things change, rates change, plans get canceled. The small savings is often not worth it, unless I’m traveling on very certain dates and to somewhere where I expect cars to sell out.”

5. One Way Car Rental Fees

The one way car rental drop fee is a slippery one because it’s unpredictable—sometimes it’s charged by rental agencies and other times it’s not. What that means is that you’ll need to do a bit of comparison to figure out how much it would impact the price of the rental. To do this, price out a rental that starts and ends at the same location and then compare that to the price if you rent a vehicle from one location and drop it in another.

How to Avoid One Way Car Rental Fees

The only way around this one is to pick up and drop off your rental car in the same place. But in many cases, a slightly higher car rental price might be worth it; for instance if flying into one destination and out of another saves you money on airfare or is just a better fit for your vacation, or if you’re taking a one-way road trip. But it’s worth knowing if part of the rental rate is that rental car drop fee.
