Saving Tips

Compare every brand in one click. All majors sit side-by-side at MYR so use our site to line them up on one screen. Toggle vehicle size and mileage limits to spot the sweet spot fast.
Peak summer = pricey. June–August rates can be 2-3× winter prices. Lock something 3+ months ahead if you're hitting Myrtle's busy beach weeks, but feel free to wait for deals in October–February.
Play with trip length. Staying 5+ days? Weekly pricing often beats a 4- or 5-day rate. Add or shave a day in the search box and watch the total drop.
Skip the young-driver hit. Under 25 pays about $25 a day. If a travel buddy is 25+, list them as the primary renter and share the driving (add yourself as free spouse driver when allowed).
Refuel off-airport. Fill up at Circle K on Hwy 15 or Sunoco on Hwy 17 (both 5-10 min away) to dodge the $9-10 per gallon return fee.
