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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying 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, use Expedia's filters to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure more favourable rates and enjoy a wider selection, 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 surcharges, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always review the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most economical option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be acceptable. Just make sure to return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  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 sidestep unnecessary expenses and provide you with added peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is simple.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you have long road trips in mind, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a vehicle.
