You can save a lot of money by comparing the various car rental agencies. But it can be very time-consuming, so use an Internet based car rental search engine. Just enter the dates and location, and it will tell you, which car rental agency that is the cheapest.
It is possible for you to plan your vacation so you need the car in the weekend, you can often save a lot of money. Usually you can find special weekend offers at the car rental agencies.
Another way to find cheap car rental is long term rental. It is often possible to rent a car for a week for the same price as 4 or 5 days will cost you.
Do you want a larger car model? Then ask. The car rental agencies are willing to buy your loyalty by offering you extra service, so if you ask for an upgrade, they will normally give it to you, if it is possible. But do not plan your whole vacation (and your luggage) on it. Think about it as an extra bonus.
If you say no to the insurance, you can save a lot of money. But it can also cost you a lot of money, if you are not insured when to get involved in a car accident. So read the policy carefully, before you refuse it.
On the other hand the car rental agencies earn a lot of extra money on the insurance part. So do pick the insurances, you need; no less and no more.
Remember that a rental day is 24 hours. So if you e.g. arrive in the airport at 2 pm and have to leave at 5 pm, you can save a rental day by collecting the car a little later; or returning it a little earlier. Sometimes it is also possible to make a deal with the car rental agency, so you can keep the car a few extra hours for free
Finally it is a good idea to prepay the car. So instead of renting the car at arrival in the airport, you should find a good price on the Internet and book the car in advance. Then the car will also be ready for you, when you arrive in the airport.
