How do I find the best car rental deals in Southwest with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your car type and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Southwest car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more savings.
What do you need to rent a car in Southwest?
You'll generally require a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules may differ between providers, so it's a good idea to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southwest?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Southwest and score an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Southwest car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Southwest companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Southwest?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Southwest trip. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
