Save Money on Gas in Your Rental Car
Whether you’re just visiting Honolulu for vacation or are here long term, you’ll want to save money on gas in your rental car. Thankfully, there are quite a few methods available to keep more money in your pocket when you visit the pump. Here are some tips from the team at Lucky Owl Car Rental.
Economical Driving
Even though it can be challenging for some people, staying below the speed limit when driving is one of the best ways to save fuel. Fifty-five to 65 mph is the ideal speed range for fuel economy. Smooth acceleration and braking, as well as using the cruise control feature, are also beneficial.
Loyalty Membership
If you’re familiar with the area you’re in or if you’ve planned your journey ahead of time and know you’ll pass by a station or business you frequent along the way, you might sign up for a loyalty program. Discounted fuel costs are available to Costco and Sam’s Club customers. There are other well-known chains of gas stations that provide loyalty discounts.
Appropriate Rental Car
When we travel, we all want the largest, most convenient vehicle we can get. Even though it can be beneficial to occasionally treat yourself to luxuries, the way to save money on gas in your rental is to rent the smallest, most fuel-efficient vehicle that can reasonably meet your needs. Larger vehicles will consume more fuel.
Gas Price Tracking
It would be unproductive to drive around too much in pursuit of cheaper gas. These days, a variety of gas price applications are available to download to your phone. By monitoring local gas prices, these applications will take the guesswork out of finding the cheapest gas station.
Paying with Cash
Quite a few gas stations will give you a small discount if you pay with cash, despite the fact that it could be a bit more difficult. When it’s time to fill up, look for the “cash price” on the pricing board. In certain circumstances, you may be able to save up to 10 cents per gallon.
