Ditch the rental car the night before your flight
To sleep more, stress less and save overall, I decided years ago to ditch the rental car the evening before an early morning flight instead of on the departure day. The preemptive return strategy has several advantages: I save money on overnight parking and the cost of an additional rental day.
Relinquishing the car on this timeline works in most scenarios, but not all. If I am staying in an area without an airport shuttle, mass transit or reliable car-share service, I will hang onto the rental and drive myself to the airport. But more often than not, I will book a hotel with a free shuttle, so that I can catch a ride from the airport to the hotel and back. In several cities, such as Dublin, Winnipeg and Knoxville, Tenn.
Obviously, early risers with sharp navigational skills might opt to wait til the morning. But I do not possess either trait: I am an owl with a permanently busted inner compass. So, I don’t mind tacking a few errands onto my final evening, such as running my bags up to my hotel room, gassing up and trekking to the airport. In the morning, I can calmly sip lobby-brewed coffee while the shuttle driver runs around collecting passengers and bags.To save on the rental fee, the timing must be right.
