On average, car rentals at Tulsa Airport cost around $66 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $31 per day.
Check multiple brands in one go – TUL's six on-airport counters sit side by side, and rates swing wildly day to day. A quick comparison can trim 20-30 %.
Shift your schedule – flying in mid-week or adjusting pickup/return by a few hours often beats weekend pricing, especially outside summer & State Fair peaks.
Book 2-4 weeks out for busy periods (June-Aug, major events). Last-minute deals pop up in slower months, so don't lock in too early if you're visiting off-season.
Refuel on Memorial Drive (5 min from the lot) to dodge the "we'll fill it for you" surcharge that can double the price of a tank.
