We’ve put together this page to highlight some ways you can save money when renting a vehicle. Let’s go!
Reserve Your Rental Early
Rental companies have a limited number of rental vehicles available. The fewer there are available at a time, the more money those rentals may cost. Booking early helps you get a better price because more vehicles are available. It even may give you more options to select a car that has the features you want in your rental.

Memberships
Utilize Those Memberships
Are you an AARP or AAA member? Ask the rental company if they have any discounts available for memberships designed to save you money.
Fred Beans Autorent has rates available for both AARP and AAA members so you can get the most out of your rental experience.
Ask About Current Discounted Rates/Specials
Occasionally, rental companies may run discounts for specific vehicle rentals. Ask if they are running any for the dates of your reservation. This can help you save some money, especially around a holiday.
Fred Beans Autorent offers discounted rates for weekends, holidays, corporate parties, and even insurance replacements. Just ask to see if your rental qualifies for any of these reduced rates.

Pay for Tolls and Gas Yourself
Some rental companies give you the opportunity to pay for tolls through an E-ZPass or another device in the vehicle. There is often an additional charge to use these devices. If you pay the toll in cash, you may be able to save a few bucks while you’re on the road.
Typically, when you’re finished with the rental, you need to return it with the same amount of gas that it had when you drove off. If you return it with less, you may be charged extra to refill the tank. Refill it yourself before you return the rental to avoid this!
Assess the Condition of Your Rental Before Leaving
If your rental is damaged while on the road, you may be responsible for the repairs.
Before you leave the rental lot, take a moment to assess the vehicle's condition. Note any potential damage you spot, like dents or scratches, before you leave. Some rental companies will give you a form to fill out for this information. You can also take photos of the damage to document the date/time you saw it.
Consider Avoiding Airport Rentals
Airport rentals are often more expensive than rentals from other locations. This is because you’re at the airport, and the rental companies know you need to get around. Airport rental agencies may also have additional charges because of rules established by the city around airport rentals. These additional charges often don’t exist for rental companies in other locations.
