Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, it’s always great to save money wherever possible during your trip. Between paying for hotel rooms and dining out, to spending money on local attractions and more, there’s generally a lot to pay for that can really add up.
At E-Z Rent-A-Car, we’ve got a lot of cost-saving options for your car rental that can help you make the most of your budget while you travel.
1. Opt for a non-name-brand national chain. By choosing a rental car company that’s not one of the “big box” brands, you’re almost guaranteed to get a better rate for your vehicle. Some of these bigger brands get away with charging up to a couple hundred dollars each, especially with specialty vehicles and extra add-ons. Non-“big box” companies tend to offer rates at a fraction of the cost, which can make all the difference during your trip. With E-Z, you’ll find some select rates that are comparable to the cost of lunch!
2. Make use of coupons and discounted rates. Many car rental companies offer some kind of discounted rate for people to take advantage of. At E-Z Rent-A-Car, we offer several special pricing options at multiple locations across the country, including coupons for military and government officials, students, senior citizens, teachers and school employees, and police and service personnel.
3. Reserve a specialty vehicle, rather than renting more than one car. Another way to save money is by getting the vehicle that’s right for your group. Maybe it’s just two of you for this trip. Maybe it’s the whole family. Whatever your group size, choose a rental car company that offers the right type of car for you, so that you’re not spending more than you need to be on multiple vehicles or one vehicle that’s too big for your party.
4. Look for special offers on social media. Follow your preferred rental car company’s social media accounts in order to get the most up-to-date specials and discounted rates. Many rental car companies use these platforms to showcase coupon codes, holiday deals, exclusive rates, etc. Connect with E-Z on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Pinterest today!
5. Sign up for a rewards program. A rental car company that wants to earn your business long-term should be investing in a rewards program to show their appreciation to you for choosing their company. E-Z Money, for example, is E-Z Rent-A-Car’s exclusive reward program, which offers member-only discounts and reward points that can be redeemed for credits on upcoming rentals and more. Be sure to check out what programs you can sign up for like this before making a rental purchase.
