10 tips to save on your car hire around Abu Simbel Temples

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer sun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best options 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 in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, 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 the age of 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 requirements prior to making a booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, although it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen events occur during your trip. It’s easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
