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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting your preferred vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, employ the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles 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.
  4. 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 available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. 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 favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which can be acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an extra charge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unwarranted expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on undertaking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a vehicle.
