-Book for a Week: If you’re going to be in Las Vegas for a week, book your rental car for the entire week. Rental car companies give discounts for longer rentals, so do yourself a favor, and book your rental for the entire duration of your trip.

-Think Small: The smaller the car, the cheaper the rate. That may sound oversimplified, but when it comes to rental car rates, that’s the rule. Unless you need a larger vehicle, book a small one, and you’ll be able to keep more money in your pocket, or at least have more money to use while you’re gambling!

-Pump Your Own Gas: Do not return your rental with anything other than a full tank. Otherwise, you are going to waste money paying the rental car company’s inflated price for gas. There are gas stations all over Las Vegas, so on your way to return your rental, stop at one and fill the car up yourself.

-Comparison Shop: The Internet makes it simple to comparison shop for rental cars. And since you can search comparison websites for free, there’s no reason not to do this!

-Don’t Be Upsold: Because it brings in so much money, rental car companies love to upsell during the reservation process. However, to avoid wasting money, you have to remind yourself to politely decline any extras you are offered.
