Can you use Southwest travel funds for a car rental?
I have a bunch of Southwest travel funds saved, and I want to use them up before they expire. I already booked a flight, but can I use the remaining travel funds for a car rental?

I’m happy to hear you’re trying to use all your Southwest travel funds before they expire, but you cannot use Southwest travel funds for a car rental.
The reason you cannot use Southwest travel funds for a car rental is that only Southwest accepts the travel funds, and a separate company handles the car rental. So, it looks like you may be planning another trip soon!
Before booking your car rental, you should know that your personal
car insurance
policy typically extends to your rental vehicle, so you may be able to save some money by forgoing the rental car insurance
.You can save even more money by using
Jerry
, an insurance comparison and shopping app, to save on your car insurance
. A licensed broker that offers end-to-end support, the Jerry app gathers affordable quotes, helps you switch plans, and will even help you cancel your old policy.View full answer
