10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Phillip Island

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect 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. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles generally come with lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most economical choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge; however, the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when reserving through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
