10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Graciosa Island

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal vehicle for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury 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 rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the best choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge when picking up your rental car at airports, but it may be worth it for the added convenience.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
