10 tips to save on your car hire around Ben Nevis

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, 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 vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—like SUVs or premium models—may be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may 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 in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to evade extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
