9 tips to save on your Airport car rental near Shannon

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance for some of the best rates: Generally, it's advisable to arrange your airport car rental as soon as possible to secure lower rates and a wider selection. Booking 1-3 months ahead is ideal, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might have restricted availability. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your reservation.
  • Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles like economy or compact cars 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.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  • Know your payment options: Most rental agencies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards may not always be accepted.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is simple.
  • Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend considerable time on the road, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges on longer journeys.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
