10 tips to save on your car rental in Jordan

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, Expedia's filters can assist you in finding the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalising your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
