10 tips to save on your car rental in Colombia

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra room, a convertible to enjoy during the summer, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, leverage the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the perfect fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and benefit from improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and can be easier to park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unanticipated occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long-distance road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
