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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to identify the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early typically ensures better rates and availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are usually more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—like SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which can also be acceptable; just ensure to return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for transactions.
  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 trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is essential for renting a car.
