Here are our suggestions on how to hop behind the wheel of a rental car with some extra cash in your wallet:

• Use our handy filter tool to steer you toward the hottest car deals in town — and then compare the prices;
• By submitting only your email address into our Price Drop Alert, you'll be informed of all of the best deals for your selected location;
• Before you pick up your keys and hop behind the wheel, take a look at both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off office locations to make sure you're getting the best deal in town;
• You can sometimes save yourself some dollars if your plans are flexible. Compare different days and dates and find out what savings you can score;
• Pickup and drop-off times usually need to be around the same time (e.g, both 9 a.m.) or you could be asked to pay for an entire extra day;
• If you're looking to save a pretty penny, pay as soon as you book and bag some of the best rates around;
• Make your booking as soon as your dates are locked in. The earlier you book, the bigger the choice.
