Half an hour of market research can save hundreds of pounds on car rental.

This is what traveler Chris Haslam says in his article for The Times. "I looked at rental costs for a 16-day coast-to-coast trip, picking up from JFK and returning to LAX. I compared the prices of the major brokers and rental companies for small and intermediate cars and found that not only are intermediate cars often cheaper, but the price difference is as much as £497," he explained.

The most expensive was the Alamo: £1421 for the Chevrolet Spark and £1528 for the Nissan Versa; the cheapest was the Zest, £1050 and £1031 respectively.

If you're heading into the city for the night, beware of booking hotels that offer compulsory valet parking. This can add up to £50 to your bill, as well as a tip, so check before you book and if there is no alternative parking available, find another hotel.

Keep in mind that in most cities, you can park on the street for free all day on Sundays and after 6 pm on other days.
