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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car to save on costs, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early increases your chances of securing lower rates and ensures better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are generally more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of 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 before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help prevent unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.

Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
