2. Coupon Codes – These days there are coupons for everything, including rental cars. Before booking your car, make sure to search the internet for any promotions currently running.
3. Car rental coverage – Often times your car insurance company will cover the insurance on a rental car. Check with your insurance provider before renting a car and inquire about this service.

Save yourself a nice chuck of money and make sure that you return your car gased up. Also, if the car rental facility offers to fill you up at the time of rental, decline and purchase the gas yourself.
