Are you looking for a surefire way to save some money on your next Orlando car rental or Denver airport car rentals? Well, I have a few friends in the car rental business, and they all tell me one thing: fill up the gas in your rental car before turning it in.

Why should you do this? It’s simple. The Orlando rental cars agencies charge a higher rate for gas when they have to refill it than if you were to pay at a local gas station. So, just taking a few moments to pull over at a gas station to fill up the rental car can save you several dollars.

But that’s not the only thing you can do to save at the car rental shop. Another insider tip is to bring your own car seat for your child. Rental car companies charge an extra fee if you need a car seat, and it can cost you several dollars. Just bring your car seat on the airplane, and you’ll have a fuller wallet at the end of your trip.

Do you have any tips for saving money when you rent a car? I’m telling you now-it pays to have friends who work at airport car rental companies.
