10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Bahir Dar

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced option, providing comfort, fuel efficiency, and affordability.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is generally the most convenient choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if unforeseen issues arise during your trip. Adding insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek out rentals with unlimited mileage to avoid additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a vehicle.
