How to use our new tool to source low rental vehicle prices
As fuel costs fluctuated throughout 2022, so did the price of renting a vehicle. Between 2021 and 2022, our internal data revealed that costs had risen by, for example, 264% in Canada, 85% in the UK, 28% in the state of Illinois, and 14% in California.
Thankfully, with the introduction of our new tool, travelers can now easily identify which areas are offering the cheapest rental car costs during a timeframe of their choosing.
That's right — users are able to select a pick-up and drop-off date which determines the length of the rental period. Upon entering the dates, a list of the countries will be displayed sorted by price (cheapest first).
Our tool makes planning a trip abroad easier than ever, by combining the use of our tool with a flight or hotel comparison site, users can get an accurate price for every major financial aspect of their travel.
Using the new tool, let's take a look at the top ten cheapest destinations for renting a vehicle between, for example, June 1st and June 8th, 2023:

Jamaica, which ranks outside the top 50 cheapest destinations for car rentals in the first week of June ($255) has flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport starting from $411 according to comparison sites such as Skyscanner. This means the total cost of flights and a rental vehicle would total $666.
By using the tool the opposite way and sourcing a cheap destination for renting a vehicle before examining flight costs, travelers can discover a suitable budget trip.
For example, Brazil, which ranks as the 17th cheapest country for car rentals in the first week of June ($93) also has flights starting from $480 according to flight comparison sites. This takes the total cost to $573, $93 cheaper than the suggested trip to Jamaica.
