While we may all be preoccupied with finding the cheapest flights and hotels, renting a car is another high expense that is important to consider. After all, getting a cheaper deal on your rental car can save you plenty of cash, particularly as your holiday wears on. Here are some hacks to help you get the cheapest car rentals.

Airline Programs

If you’re a frequent flyer, then it’s worth checking if your program offers any discounts. For example, in 2023, Delta Air Lines announced a new SkyMiles partnership with Hertz, providing you with plenty of money-saving opportunities.

Check Out Car Sharing

If regular car rental prices seem steep, then a car-sharing alternative may be a better option. Getaround and Turo are two options that allow you to rent cars directly from their owners, thereby avoiding many typical car rental costs.

Look For Coupons

Websites such as Autoslash offer a wide range of car rental coupons, meaning that you can save on your car rental just by applying the right coupon code.

Renting a car when you travel is a great option well worth considering. It gives you total freedom and allows you to see places you might not be able to get to through public transportation alone. But it can also be confusing and a bit stressful. So to help you out, here are some tips to follow.

Plan Ahead

Always try to arrange your car rental before you go on your trip. If you wait until you arrive at your location to rent your car, you’re going to end up paying much higher prices.

Check the Law

There are some things that are different from country to country, so you’ll always need to check them before your trip. This includes things like the legal driving age, the legal car rental age, and whether or not you need an international driver’s license, which translates your license information to other languages.

Driving Manual

If you’re coming from a country where automatic transmissions are the norm, you should be prepared to know that in many countries, especially Europe, most cars are manual. This means it’ll cost more to get an automatic car.

Insurance

There are multiple types of insurance you might need for your rental car including collision insurance, personal injury insurance, and liability insurance. Be sure to check exactly which of them you need, and which your credit cards might already offer.

If road trips give you anxiety, it’s probably because you don’t like how you feel in cars. The minuscule bumps, the changes in speed and the curves just make your stomach and brain feel topsy-turvy. But you have wanderlust! You don’t have time for motion sickness! So try one of these motion-sickness prevention methods, so you can see everything you’ve marked on your Pinterest board.

Sea bands

Sea bands are pressurized scrunchie-like bands that go around each wrist. Their trigger point therapy represses your nausea through acupressure in the wearables, so you can feel at ease in the passenger seat. They come in a small carrying case that can fit easily into any makeup bag or pocket.

Roll Those Windows Down

Sometimes air conditioning is not enough, and you may feel trapped in the car with the windows closed and lack of circulation. So ask your driver to roll down the windows so you can get the benefits of fresh oxygen and relieve your mind of feeling stuck.

Decrease Your Sensory Cues

You positioning affects your sensory intake. Too many stimulants can play with your brain and your stomach. To lower the amount of cues your body receives, decrease controllable factors such as sunlight. Sunglasses come in handy even in the nighttime, as you’ll numb the brightness from street lights that might hurt your eyes. Lower the radio so your ears aren’t overloaded. And get comfy — don’t be afraid to lean your chair back.

Natural Remedies

Peppermint and ginger are known for relieving nausea. They come in pill form that are handy to take before a trip. Inhaling them as essential oils is also helpful and you’ll feel relief with every breath. You can find them in your local health food store, online at Amazon, or Wholefoods.
