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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—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 booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals impose a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.
