Vacation planning usually takes place months in advance. You many often need to look at many factors when making a budget. You may need to consider the costs of airfare, accommodations, attractions and events, meals and car rental.
When trying to get the cheapest vacation car rental, you will want to find the best price on the vehicle that meets your needs. You want to look a the size of the vehicle, based on the number of passengers, the amount of luggage, and always, gas mileage. The size of the vehicle will often play a large part in determining the price. You need to figure out whether the higher price of getting an SUV or Minivan is justifiable. If you are taking a long road trip, then the comfort and size of a larger vehicle will often
justify it's higher cost. If you're only using the vehicle to travel from the airport to your hotel, and to visit attractions, the money you save by renting a smaller car can be better used to enjoy the actual attractions and events that you visit.
If you are flying to your destination, finding a car rental company that is on site at the airport will save you the time and hassle of having to load your family and all their stuff on a shuttle bus!
The best way to get a cheaper rental is to start looking early and comparing prices. There are lots of car rental companies that are looking for your business and you want to make sure that you're getting the best deal you can.

You can almost always find a car rental discount code or coupon that will lower the price of your car rental. There are hundreds of membership programs and professional associations that offer discount codes with one or more car rental companies.
