Car Rentals to Add to Your Flight Booking

A rental car can make a trip simpler or cost more than you expect. This guide covers the choices that move the price, and a specialist can add a car to your flight booking.

Choose the right car

• Economy and compact: easy to park, efficient, best for city trips and one or two travelers.
• Midsize and full-size: more comfort for families and longer drives.
• SUVs and minivans: space for luggage and groups, and useful in snow or on rough roads.
• Luxury and premium: for business trips or special occasions.

What changes the price

• Pickup location: airport locations include extra charges that off-airport ones may not.
• Dates and season: holidays, events and school breaks raise rates.
• Rental length: weekly rates can be lower per day than short rentals.
• One-way drop-off: returning elsewhere can add a fee.
• Driver age: under-25 drivers often pay more.
• Extras: child seats, toll devices, GPS and additional drivers each add cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to rent at the airport?

Not always. Airport locations add convenience and often extra airport fees, while off-airport locations can be cheaper but need a shuttle or ride. Compare the total, including how you will get there.

What is a one-way rental fee?

A fee some companies charge when you return the car to a different location than where you picked it up. It varies by route and company, so ask for the total.

Do I need the rental company's insurance?

It depends on your own auto policy, your credit card benefits and where you are renting. Check what you already have and ask the rental company what is optional before you decide.

What do I need to rent a car?

Generally a valid driver's license, a credit card in the driver's name and meeting the company's minimum age. Drivers under 25 often pay an extra daily fee, and international renters may need extra documents.
