10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Bourton-on-the-Water

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, apply filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary depending on demand, so it is advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a method of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If your plans include extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
