Saving money always feel good.

Unlike spending more money than you should... which is the worst!

Travel experts have put together a list of hacks to get the best deals when renting a car:

Leverage credit card perks, cash-back options and more to cut down on rental car costs.
Rent away from the airport to find better deals.
Earn cash back by booking through cash-back portals.
Leverage credit card perks for free collision damage waiver insurance, free upgraded status, travel credits, exclusive discounts and bonus rewards.
Book through warehouse clubs for exclusive savings.
Skip add-ons like car seats, GPS systems and satellite radio.
Don't use the toll pass without paying.
Read the fine print and take time to consider add-ons.
Bundle rentals with a hotel or flight booking.
Compare rates and vehicles, including small local rental companies.
Book in advance to get ahead of price hikes.
Do not prepay for fuel.
Ask for free upgrades.
Reconsider renting at all and opt for public transit, bicycles or walking.
