Make your reservation as soon as you have decided on plans. Most Rental Car Companies increase their rates as reservations come in and their fleets become booked. Also, certain classes of cars will sell out and you may have to end up reserving and paying for a larger vehicle than you want.
 
Being flexible about your travel plans can save you money. Rental Companies that focus on the business or replacement market customers often have great weekend specials. The best rates are found during the off season and at other times when the Rental Companies have extra cars sitting around.
 
Check into booking your vacation as a package. You might be able to save by booking your car along with a certain airline, hotel or attraction ticket package.
 
Book the smallest car that you will need and hope for a free upgrade. But, remember you may get stuck with that small car.
 
Check into other size class vehicles. They may have extra cars in a certain class and be offering discounts for that size class.
 
Use coupons but read them carefully for exceptions. Most upgrade coupons are "based on availability", so if you have an upgrade coupon that you wish to use and also have a monetary discount coupon, bring them both. If they can honor the upgrade, they may still give you the monetary discount. Also, remember to book any coupons or discounts in your reservation. Apply any special discount programs for which you are eligible.
 
When you get to the counter, ask if there are any upgrade specials available, they might have some good deals.
