10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Ashburton

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and specific features you require. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option 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 more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, 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 prior to making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best option. Other policies may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  • 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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you intend to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
