The Best Car Rental Search Engines

Reviews of the Best Car Rental Search Engines, and Tips on How to Find the Cheapest Rental Car Rates Online.

Custom Search
Car Rental Where can you find the best deals on car rentals? If you’re wondering about that, check out our reviews of the top rental car search engines...

Our Picks: Top 5 Best Car Rental Search Engines

1. Kayak.com

Very quickly, Kayak displays the lowest rates from over 100 agencies, and will forward you to the site for booking in no time. Beautifully simple, and in our tests delivered the very cheapest price time after time. Their engine scours big companies and small, and both airport and off-terminal rental locations. Another impressive travel tool, just like their airfare search.

2. Priceline.com

Priceline.com - with Priceline, you tell them the price you want to pay. And you’ll usually get an answer in a minute or so. Like Hotwire, they use only major rental companies. And if you can find a lower price (within 48 hours of booking) than the one you got on Priceline – they’ll refund 100% of the difference. If you can win a priceline bid that’s cheaper than Kayak or SideStep, you have got yourself a true steal-of-a-deal!

Priceline Rental Car Bidding Tip: Find the lowest rate at Kayak, and bid about 15% lower. See Winning Rental Car bids in Top Cities from $13/day!

3. Hotwire.com

Hotwire.com - Hotwire is a great car rental tool for getting a fix on “the price to beat”, as they are at or near the cheapest much of the time. You won’t see what company you’re renting from (until you purchase), but rest assured it’s a major car rental company. This is a great alternative if bidding on priceline is not for you. Definitely worth using.

4. Orbitz.com

Orbitz.com - Orbitz Car rental lowest price search gives you a well-designed grid which lays out all the options for you in a way that makes comparison shopping fast and easy. And our experience showed that Orbitz will find the cheapest rental car price in some cities too. If an Orbitz rate doesn’t show up on your SideStep search, be sure to check them out.

Tip: In many cases, a weekly rental is as cheap as a 4 or 5 day rental, so it might be worth it to keep the car a bit longer.

5. Car Rental Company Websites

It pays to always check sites like Thrifty.com, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Dollar or Alamo.com. Many rental companies now offer the same discounts as the car search engines, especially for 1 week and 2 week rentals.

Hope This Review of Car Rental Search Engines Helps You Find The Cheapest Rental Car for Your Romantic Journey!
