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

• Use our clever filter tool to point you in the direction of the hottest car rental deals around --- then compare the prices;
• Sign up for our Price Drop Alert and be informed immediately when prices become cheaper for your location;
• Before you hop behind the wheel, check both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off locations to make sure you're bagging the cheapest deal in town;
• If you're not bothered about which day of the week you collect the keys to your car and your travel plans are flexible, play around with days and dates to find the hottest deal;
• Pickup and drop-off times often need to be the same or very similar (e.g, both 11 a.m.) or you could be charged for an entire extra day;
• Some car rental companies reward you with discounts if you pay as soon as you book, so make sure you watch out for these money-saving offers;
• It's best to secure your booking as soon as your vacation dates are set. The early bird catches the worm!
