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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on the type of vehicle 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 options, filters on Expedia can assist you in locating the best choice for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to access lower rates and improve your chances of availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This could also impact renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you are required to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favourable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of 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. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential to rent a car.
