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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. You are more likely to obtain lower rates when booking early 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 navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just be sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the 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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.
