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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by selecting the vehicle type and features that suit your needs. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for sunny days, or an economy car to save money, use the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, 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 booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is generally the most economical option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an additional charge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience it offers may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for transactions.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
