10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Val-Thorens

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for ample space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to locate the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. Booking early often allows you to access lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—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 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 usually the most cost-effective option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just remember to return the vehicle 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 could justify the extra 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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should the unexpected occur during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
