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

  1. 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 for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary with demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience can 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 prevent unexpected expenses and provide you with peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
