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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying the vehicle type and features you desire. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early often allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
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 cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher security deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an extra fee for picking up your rental car at airports; however, the convenience may justify the cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is easy when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you have long road trips planned, search for rentals offering unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a car.
