10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Le Puy-en-Velay

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, employ the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices 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 rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, 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 accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  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 additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. 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.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
