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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible to enjoy during the summer, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia's filters can assist you in identifying the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and have access to a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded urban areas. Mid-size rentals offer a favourable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle types—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 requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agencies follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the most advantageous. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.
