If you have a trip coming up for the holidays or need a rental while your car is being repaired, watch your pennies and get a great deal on your next car rental!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Plan ahead if possible. If you can, try to know what your dates are and have at least 6 weeks to look around for a good deal. This is especially important for the holiday season!

  2. Step 2

    Look online to find great coupons and promo codes for individual companies, but don't over look companies like travelocity and orbitz as they have codes as well

  3. Step 3

    Sign up for the rental car companies ezines and offers. I have received some awesome deals that you normally wouldn't find online because they emailed them out exclusively to members.

  4. Step 4

    Use your association to get discounts. From the AAA to costco to groups and organizations in-between, a 10, 15, or 20% discount is one great way to keep the cost down.

  5. Step 5

    Go to websites that have built in discounts. One that I find very popular to save cash at is Rentalcarmomma.com. Using the Alamo section of this site, you will save quite a bit of cash!
