10 tips to save on your car rental in and around São Miguel

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, make use of the filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre and 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 types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the best option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
