9 tips to save on your International Airport car rental near Frankfurt

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance for some of the best rates: It's generally advisable to secure your FRA car rental as early as possible to access lower rates and a wider selection. Booking 1-3 months ahead of your travel dates is optimal, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might have restricted availability. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age criteria before finalizing your reservation.
  4. Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles, such as economy or compact cars, are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to prevent additional fees. This is usually the most beneficial option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable; just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Know your payment options: Most rental companies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards may not always be accepted.
  7. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance while booking with Expedia.
  8. Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend considerable time on the road, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional costs on longer journeys.
  9. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a vehicle.
