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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to locate the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to access lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to hire and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between 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 be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an additional charge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience it offers may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should any unforeseen incidents occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.
