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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best 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 in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced approach to 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—might not be accessible. This can also impact renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this instance.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience might justify the extra 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 provide peace of mind should any unforeseen circumstances arise during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking extended road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential for renting a car.
