CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best price. But, you can remember a couple things to keep your upcoming booking affordable. You can:

• Read the mileage policy to steer clear of any surprise expenses
• Book your car rental as far ahead of time as possible
• Avoid airport pick-ups; they commonly are more expensive
• Compare weekly and daily rates; you may save more with a longer rental

Even a little knowledge can go a long way to getting you the most savings.

From global names like Avis and Enterprise to budget-friendly brands like Thrifty and Budget, CarRentals.com has some of the best brands in the business. Look through the reviews to help you figure out which one is best for you.

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Erie. If you're having trouble picking the right car, be sure to look over our chart below. We've compared the most popular types of vehicles for you:

Normally, to rent a car in Erie you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to read the rental agreement to find what the total will be before you rent your vehicle.

Insurance is always needed, wherever you rent a vehicle. Nevertheless, your current car insurance may cover you. Additionally, if you pay using your credit card, the card's policy may also insure you. Keep in mind, those policies might not totally cover your rental, and you'll have to add it to your booking for Erie. Check ahead of time and, if it is required, you can just add it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Below is a list of the most common ones.

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You should get your car topped off. If you return your rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car.

Unlimited mileage is a good option for travelers who don't want to worry about incurring any extra charges with the distance they drive. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Read the fine print before you book.

Before you get started on your Erie trip, go over a few things before you leave the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Check out your car and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If you notice any, write it down on the paperwork
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
