Did you know AutoSlash can track your rental reservation for price drops? We’ll actively monitor rates in the time leading up to Louder than Life and notify you if prices go down. If we find a better rate, you can rebook at the lower price.
Check both airport and off-airport rates.
If you’re flying into Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), it’s most convenient to pick up a car when your flight lands. However, this may not be the cheapest option. it makes sense to search a variety of off-airport locations as well to make sure you get the best price. A short Uber ride to a nearby neighborhood rental location could cut your rate in half. Then again, off-airport rates aren’t always cheaper, so it pays to ask us for two separate quotes.
Make the most of a weekend rate.
Sometimes car rental companies offer special weekend discounts if you plan to rent a car for only a few days. However, it pays to understand how these rates work to make sure your reservation is eligible for weekend promo pricing.
