10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Cornwall

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, use Expedia's filters to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you'll likely benefit from lower prices and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between affordability, 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 accessible. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This option is usually the most economical. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience can often make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your travels. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
