  3. Check with AAA, AARP, or any club or association you are eligible for.
  4. Check with the car rental company for memberships and cheap discounts they may offer.
  5. Contact your credit card company to find out how much and what rental car insurance is offered.
  6. Contact your travel agency about travel insurance and whether rental cars are included on it.
