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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the desired vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, leverage the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to access lower rates and a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your travels. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
