1. If you don't mind which agency you're using, choose sites that allow you to pick your price. You will definitely get the best price for the value and they might even choose to give you some upgrades and an unlimited mileage package. It won't cost you extra and you'll get a nice budget car out of the deal.
2. Try and find some fly, hotel and airline packages where you'll pay a single fee and get a discount on the car. It's not recommended that you go through the airlines for such packages because you'll actually pay a bit more for what looks like a package deal.
3.Make use of internet sites to get your budget rental car. You get to do it from the convenience of home and the deals are often really great. You can select from many different companies and find the one that works for you.

4. Make sure you take the time to ask for discounts that fit for you. Even when you think you may have gotten the best deal and are ready to sign on the bottom line, there may be a deal through your Credit Card Company or AARP card that you haven't thought of. Some frequent flyer miles apply to the renting of budget rental cars. Not everyone will have such discounts but if you dig deep, you may just come up with something.
5. Most budget car rentals are low on maintenance so when you rent a car, check all sides for damage, and I mean every side and every nook and cranny of that car, make sure to inform the renter of these so that you won't have to pay for damages once you return the car. In addition, try to check out all the accessories, wipers, radio, brakes, seat belts etc, to familiarize yourself with them, and also to check if they work, like the previous tip, you might be charged for this if you don't inform them.
6. Check to see if your own insurance company covers for automobile rentals and if it does, you don't need to buy extra insurance through the rental company. Even though auto rental insurance through the company doesn't cost you much, it is an extra cost you don't need to pay for if you don't have to.
7. You'll save money by picking your rental car early in the morning as soon as the agency is open. They rarely have their returns back by then and you'll have a better chance of getting an upgraded car for free at that time. - 21392
